It is quite simple if it is a regular shaped object like a cylinder or a cube.
For example if you wanted calculate the volume of a cylinder you need to know the radius of the circular cross-section of the cylinder - this is the measurement from the centre of the circle, to the outer-edge and then multiply that by the height of the cylinder.
For irregular shaped objects don't think there is a simple mathematical way if you don't know the density but you can always use water displacement to get a volume measurement.
Just drop the object you want to know the volume off into a graduated cylinder partially filled with water - the amount the level rises will be roughly equal to the volume of the object you dropped in.

How do you calculate volume if given bulk density?
Bulk density = dry weight / volume, then by knowing the dry weight and bulk density we can calculate the volume.
What is density of an object with the volume of 20cm3?
Density = Mass/Volume. Without information about the mass, you cannot calculate the density.
If the mass of the cube is 16g what is its density?
The density of an object is its mass divided by its volume. Without the volume, you cannot calculate its density.
How do you calculate the volume in density?
density = mass/volume If you know density and mass, you can calculate the volume by manipulating the density equation such that volume = mass/density. Example: density = 3.57g/cm3 mass = 2.4g volume = ? volume = mass/density = 2.4g/3.57g/cm3 = 0.67cm3
How to calculate mass using volume and density?
Density = Mass/Volume so Mass = Density*Volume.
