When did Archimedes find out how to measure volume of an irregular shape?
215bc
How do you do volume of a irregular shape that is two dimensional?
If a shape is two dimensional it has NO volume - volume is an attribute of THREE dimensional shapes.If you meant the AREA of an irregular two dimensional shape, then divided it up into areas which are not irregular and so you can calculates them, and sum the areas of these non-irregular shapes.If you meant the volume of an irregular THREE dimensional shape, then a similar process can be followed by dividing it up into three dimensional shapes you can can calculate the volume of and summing them, though if it is an irregular object that you are physically holding, then you can find its volume by finding the increase in volume of a liquid (In a regular container) when the object is submerged into that liquid.
What can be used to find the volume of an irregular figure?
You divide the shape into parts or pour a liquid into it
What is the definition of an irregular volume?
An irregular volume is one that has no simple equation to describe it's shape. An example would be a cylinder with a cone on it's end. The shape can often be divided into two or more regular shapes which have known equations that describe them. In this case, a cylinder and a cone. To then find the total volume of the irregular shape, you sum the volumes of the individual regular shape volumes.
How do you find the volume of an irregular shape in a graduated cylinder?
Find the density and mass of the object d=m/v and plug in your numbers and solve for volume
