You multiply base by height times length or depth and you got yourself a volume.
The formula for the volume of a solid (not a sphere) is V=Bh, or the volume (V) equals the area of the base (B, or bh) multipied by the height of the solid (h).
It depends on the solid.
The water displacement method is typically used to find the volume of an irregular solid. The object is submerged in a known amount of water, and the increase in water volume is measured. This increase in volume is equal to the volume of the irregular solid.
A cylinder.
liquid does have definite volume, but it does not have a definite shape.Only ice (solid) phase has a definite volume and shapeIce( solid state), since solids are the only state of matter that has a definite mass volume and shape
that's solid state. a solid has got the following characteristics : definite shape, definite volume, and cannot be compressed
By volume liquid can occupy the shape of the container ,but has got a fixed volume unless and until subjected to expansion by change in temperature and pressure. that way it is also compressible. but on the other hand solid has got fixed volume and fixed shape. it is less compressible. this is how they are different..

Definite shape and volume is a state that defines solid.
Yes, a solid does not occupy less sapce when it is pressed or squeezed. It cannot be compressed. The volume of a solid does not change. A solid has a fixed or definite volume.
The volume of a solid depends on the temperature.
Solid has definite volume and shape It's atoms and molecules are packed closely together that is all i got . :)

Yes you can.You can measure the solid by putting it into a gradruated cylinder.The height of the water shows you how much volume the solid has. fun is at www.qyue.webs.com
You place it in water to see the volume of water it displaces. Fill a large, graduated measuring cylinder to about halfway with water (say to 50mL) Put the irregular solid in, and measure the volume it reads (solid + water). (say it reads 80mL) So the volume of the irregular solid will be: volume(solid+water) - volume(water). For example, the volume of the water was 50mL, and when the solid was added, the volume increased to 80mL. The volume of the solid would be 80mL - 50mL. So it would be 30mL.
The volume of an irregularly shaped solid can be measured by placing the solid in a known quantity of water in a container with measurement markings. Take the new volume and find the difference between this and the old volume. This is the volume of your irregularly shaped solid.
