To find the volume of an irregular object using a graduated cylinder, you can use the method of water displacement. Fill the graduated cylinder with a known volume of water, then carefully submerge the irregular object in the water. The increase in water level corresponds to the volume of the object. Subtract the initial volume from the final volume to determine the volume of the irregular object.
length x width x height or put water in a graduated cylinder, and measure the volume of water. then place the object in the graduated cylinder and record the new volume of the water. subtract the old volume from the new, and that is the volume of the object.
Yes. Fill the cylinder with a specific amount of water and write that amount down. (Any amount, as long as the keys will fit in without the water overflowing, and there is enough to make a difference.) Then put the keys in. Write down the new volume displayed by the graduated cylinder. Subtract the first volume form the initial volume, (this is change in volume), and you will get the volume of the keys.
By pouring a set amount of water into the cylinder then addin the object and seeing how much the volume changes. The amount of change is the volume of the object.
