The answer will depend on what information is available. Ideally, you know the length, breadth and height (in the same units of measurement) and simply multiply the three together.
Cubic centimeter or cm3 is a measurement of volume. To find volume in cm3, you need to have three dimensions, such as length, width and height for a cube given in centimeters. By multiplying these three measurements, you find the volume in cubic centimeters.
For a regular object you measure the three dimensions of an object - length, width and height. After measuring each of these you then multiply them all together which leaves you with the volume of your object. Alternately, you could use a different way of calculating volume: displacement. Put x amount of water in a container with measurement markers on the sides. Then add the object. Subtract the final measurement from the original measurement and you will have the volume of the object.
Length is a one dimensional measurement of an object, and volume is a three-dimensional measurement of an object - its length times its height times its width.
Volume is measured in cubed units because volume is a three-dimensional measurement that involves length, width, and height. When measuring volume, we are essentially measuring the amount of space an object occupies in three dimensions. Cubing the units ensures that the measurement reflects this three-dimensional aspect, as opposed to just a single linear measurement.
