Use a measuring cylinder with water in it. Note down the volume of water in the cylinder, then add the solid. Note down the new volume and subtract the first value from the second to get the volume of the solid.

What is the formula in finding the volume of irregular solid?

There is no formula for finding the volume of an irregular solid. One method is water displacement which works as follows: Fill a graduated container with water and read off the volume of water. Then you submerge the irregular shaped solid in the water and measure the volume inside the container again. The difference between the two levels is the volume of the solid. This clearly cannot work for solids that are soluble in water. Other fluids may have to be used in such cases. Also, it will not work if the solid floats on water, but in that case you can submerge it using additional weights (whose volume you have measured).


How many solids can you make using 3 cubes?

Using three cubes, you can create a variety of solid shapes, but the most straightforward solid is a rectangular prism. Additionally, you can arrange the cubes in different configurations to create L-shaped or T-shaped solids. However, the exact count of distinct solids depends on how you define uniqueness (e.g., considering rotations and reflections). Overall, the combinations can lead to several unique arrangements, but they will all fundamentally be variations of simple polyhedral forms.


How many solids have 5 faces?

The only regular 3D shapes I can think of with 5 faces are the square-based pyramid and the triangular prism (which is shaped like a Toblerone bar).

What tool you use to measure volume of solids?

A common tool used to measure the volume of solids is a graduated cylinder or a beaker for regularly shaped solids. For irregularly shaped solids, displacement method using a measuring cylinder and water can be used to find the volume.


Measuring the volume of liquids through eureka can method?

I don't see why measuring the volume of liquids using the Eureka can method. It is an indirect measure -- you displace water or some other fluid to measure a liquid? A direct tool, such as measuring beakers or cylinders with markings, is inexpensive and can measure volume adequately. Eureka cans are more for measuring the volume of solids, especially irregularly-shaped ones. ===================================


What will be used to determine th volume of irregularly shaped solids?

Eureka! Archimedes may have the answer. Sink your solid in a measuring cylinder,or the equivalent, and measure the volume of the displacement. Archimedes indeed discovered the practical solution. The formulas for almost all theoretical solids were figured out by the time of Johan Kepler. It was Isaac Newton and/or Goffreid Leibnetz that finally came up with integral calculus that takes care of absolutely everything.


A technique used to calculate the volume of irregularly shaped solids?

To calculate the volume of an irregularly shaped object, a good idea would be to get a bucket full of water and submerge that object into the bucket. Then measure the amount of water that runs over and that should be the volume of your object. For example if you take a sealed bottle of bottle stick it in a bucket filled with water, then let it's volume filll the space and displace the water. The water that is displaced or the water that runs out is the volume of your irregular shape. Get it?


What objects are measured in volume?

Objects such as liquids, gases, and irregularly shaped solids are typically measured in volume. Volume is the amount of space occupied by an object and is commonly measured in units like liters or cubic centimeters.
