l x w x h= volume

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...
Volume displacement is the method used to find the volume of small or irregularly shaped objects by noting the difference in the level of liquid before and after after immersing an object into a graduated cylinder or beaker of liquid. The difference between the before and after levels of the liquid is the volume of an immersed object.
the water displacement method
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.

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.

I think to the helium pycnometry.
