Length times Width times Height. Archimedes used a "bathtub", and submerged the object to see what volume of water was displaced.
Actually, it is not what but who. The famous mathematician that cried Eureka is Archimedes. He proved that an object plunged into liquid becomes lighter by an amount equal to the weight of liquid it displaces; popular tradition has it that Archimedes made the discovery when he stepped into the bathtub, then celebrated by running through the streets shouting "Eureka!" ("I have found it!").
Archimedes, a Greek Mathematician. He was also the man who ran across a community in Alexandria, all naked, yelling "Eureka" after discovering that when you go into a full bathtub, the water level rises with your mass.
He is only known as Archimedes of Syracuse ( now Sicily).
