if i assume that by "without a shape" you mean having an irregular or difficult shape to use math equations to calculate then you could use water displacement for example,
in a measured container filled with a specific pre-measured amount of water, noting the volume, add the solid and now you can subtract the old volume from the first to get the solid's volume

How to get the volume of an irregularly shape or solid?
One way to find the volume of an irregular shape or solid is to use the method of displacement. Fill a container with a known volume of water, then submerge the irregular shape or solid in the water and measure the volume of water displaced, which equals the volume of the irregular shape or solid.
How do you find a shape's volume?
To find the volume of a shape, use the appropriate formula based on the shape's geometry. For example, the volume of a cube is calculated by V = s^3 where s is the length of one side. Use the correct formula and input the necessary measurements to find the volume of the shape.
Why find mass of irregular solid before finding volume?
Finding the mass of an irregular solid before finding its volume allows for the mass to be determined without altering the shape or structure of the object. This preserves the accuracy of the mass measurement because irregular shapes may not easily fit into standard volume measuring equipment. Additionally, knowing the mass can help determine the most appropriate method for measuring the volume of the irregular solid.
Find the density of a solid?
mass/volume=density
How do you find the density of a rectangular solid?
To find the density of a rectangular solid, you need to measure its mass and volume. The density is calculated by dividing the mass of the solid by its volume: Density = mass / volume. Make sure to use consistent unit measurements for accurate results.
