well, for an irregularly shaped object it is a eureka can or a graduated cylinder, but for a regularly shaped object it is a simple formula: Length*Width*Height. I am 10 years old and learned that in science class.

A graduated cylinder can be used to measure the volume of a solid by first measuring the initial volume of water in the cylinder and then adding the solid to find the new volume. The difference in volume before and after adding the solid gives the volume of the solid.
To measure the volume of a large irregular solid, you can use the water displacement method. Fill a container with a known volume of water, then submerge the irregular solid in the water and measure the change in water level. The difference in water level will indicate the volume of the irregular 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.
To measure the volume of a regular shaped solid, you can use a formula specific to the shape you are working with. For example, for a cube, you would measure the length of one side and then use the formula Volume = side length^3. For a cylinder, the formula is Volume = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height. Simply plug in the appropriate values to calculate the volume.
To find the density of a rectangular solid, first measure the mass of the solid using the balance scale. Then, measure the dimensions (length, width, and height) of the solid using a metric ruler. Calculate the volume of the solid by multiplying the three dimensions. Finally, divide the mass by the volume to find the density of the rectangular solid.
To determine the volume of a solid that floats on water, you can use the principle of displacement. Submerge the solid in a container of water and measure the volume of water displaced. This volume is equal to the volume of the solid.
