What would you use to measure volume of an irregular object?
I would place it in a container full of liquid after measuring the liquid. I would measure the amount of liquid displaced by the object. That amount is equal to the volume of the irregular object if it is fully submerged in the liquid.
How does the volume of completely submerged object compare with the volume of water displaced?
They are equal.
What are 2 ways to find the volume of an object?
Derive from measurements of length, breadth, height, radius, diameter etc. Measure the volume of displaced liquid when the object is submerged. If the object is of a material of known density (or specific gravity), weigh it and calculate volume from volume = mass/density.
How do you find the volume of an object?
Length times Width times Height. Archimedes used a "bathtub", and submerged the object to see what volume of water was displaced.
How do you calculate the volume of an irregular 3D object if you know the surface area of one side and the height?
If the object is irregular you have no hope of calculating its volume from any known dimensions. The easiest way to find its volume is to fill a container full of a liquid (with which the object will not react). Submerge the object in the liquid and collect the liquid displaced. The volume of the displaced liquid, which should be easily measurable, will be the same as that of the object.
