What did Archimedes find?
He discovered the method to calculate the volume of a irregular object (rock).
How is the volume of an irregular object measured?
by a graduated cylinder (don't rely on this answer i am not sure of it)
How could you measure the volume of an object with an irregular shape?
One way to figure this out is to put the object in a graduated cylinder containing water and measuring the changes in the volume of the water.
'is it possible to find the volume of an irregular object without using water'?
By definition, an irregular object is one that does not have an easy mathematical representation, it is extremely difficult (if not impossible) to calculate its volume without placing it into a solution of some sort. Attempts to calculate volume otherwise would be subject to severe rounding error, and would thus make it unsuitable for scientific use. For the very special case where the object is uniform and/or its density, ρ=m/V, is known, then its volume could be determined from its mass, V=m/ρ.
What metric unit is used when measuring the volume of an irregular-shaped object?
millilitre or litre - depending on size. Or possibly microlitre, kilolitre, megalitre etc.
