A rectangle is a 2-dimensional figure. 2-d figures do not have volumes, which is a 3-dimensional concept.
To find the volume, first divide the shape into regular, simple shapes. Then use formulas to find the volumes of the smaller, regular shapes. Lastly, add up all the smaller areas to find the volume of the original shape. If you actually have the figure and you don't mind getting it wet then Archimedes can help. He cried out "eureka" when he realised that if he put the figure in a bucket that was already full to the brim, then the water that spilled out would have exactly the same volume as the figure. He collected the spilled water carefully and put it in a measuring flask. Then he knew the exact volume of the figure.
you cut it into regular solids then figure out those then add them together
The best way to find the volume of an irregular shape is to split it up into shapes that you know, find the volumes of those individual pieces, and then add up all of the volumes of the split pieces to get your total volume of the irregular shape.
You break up the composite figure into smaller shapes whose volumes you can work out, and them add them together.
To find the volume of a composite figure, you would need to break it down into simpler shapes (such as cubes, prisms, cylinders, etc.), calculate the volume of each individual shape using its respective formula, and then add or subtract the volumes of the individual shapes to find the total volume of the composite figure.
Take the dimensions and figure it out. Break the object into shapes that you know how to figure the volume of (rectilinear blocks, parallelipeds, tetrahedra, etc) an add the volumes together (don't forget that symmetry can help a lot so you do nto have to figure so many different pieces).
Solids have definite shapes and definite volume.

The plural of volume can be either "volumes" or "vols." depending on context.
A rectangle cannot have a volume. Only 3-dimensional objects (solids) can have volumes. A rectangle is a 2-dimensional object - or a plane figure.
Volume is a noun.
Yes, volumes are additive. When you add the volumes of two different objects or substances together, you get the total volume of both combined. This principle is based on the fact that volume is a physical quantity that can be summed up.

When alcohol and water are mixed, they form a solution with a volume that is a bit less than the sum of the volumes of the individual components. This decrease in volume is known as "volume of attraction" and is due to the molecules of alcohol and water fitting together in a way that reduces the empty space between them.
There are 16 volumes. there is now 26 volume.
