Yes. It doesnt have to be a irregular even though sometimes it is easier just to do the math... for a rectangular object.
l x w x h= volume
It is the displacement method.
Mass divided by Volume = Density. Or use the displacement method for an irregularly shaped object.
The displacement method is used to determine volume. However, if you know the density, the displacement test can give volume, which is used to work out mass by the formula m = dV
Google "Archimedes' Principle" and see if that gives you a clue...
Displacement refers to the volume of fluid that is moved or displaced by an object when it is submerged in that fluid. To calculate density, you can use the formula: density = mass/volume. By measuring the mass of the object and using the volume of the displaced fluid (which equals the volume of the object), you can determine its density. This method is particularly useful for irregularly shaped objects where direct measurement of volume is challenging.
the water displacement method
The length, width, and height method for determining volume works best for regularly shaped objects, such as cubes or rectangular prisms, where dimensions can be easily measured. For irregularly shaped objects, this method is not applicable, as their dimensions do not conform to simple geometric formulas. Instead, methods like water displacement are typically used to determine the volume of irregular shapes.
The displacement method is best used to determine the volume of irregularly shaped objects that cannot be measured directly using traditional methods such as length, width, and height measurements. It involves measuring the volume of water displaced when the object is submerged in a known volume of water.

The water displacement method is used to find the volume of irregularly shaped objects. This method is not necessary for regularly shaped objects whose volume can be easily calculated using geometric formulas. Irregularly shaped objects do not have a straightforward formula for volume calculation, hence the need for the water displacement method.
The volume of an irregularly shaped geometric object is typically determined by the amount of water it displaces when submerged. This method utilizes the principle of fluid displacement to calculate the volume of the object. By measuring the amount of water the object displaces, one can determine its volume.
In finding the density of a rectangular solid object, you can simply calculate it by dividing the mass by the volume using the formula density = mass/volume. However, for an irregular solid object, you may need to use techniques like displacement method or water displacement method to determine its volume before calculating the density.

The technique of determining the volume of a solid or gas by measuring the volume it displaces is called "displacement method" or "water displacement method." This method involves submerging the object in water and measuring the change in water level to ascertain the volume of the displaced fluid, which corresponds to the volume of the object. It is commonly used for irregularly shaped solids and certain gases.
Displacement of water is an indirect measurement because we cannot directly measure the volume of an irregularly shaped object. By measuring the water displaced when the object is submerged, we can indirectly determine the volume of the object based on the volume of water displaced, according to Archimedes' principle.
To find the volume of an irregularly shaped object that would dissolve in water, you can use the water displacement method. Fill a known volume of water in a container, note the initial water level, then submerge the object in the water and measure the new water level. The difference in water levels is the volume of the object.
