Why does the first method for determining volume work only for a regularly shaped object?

Because only regular-shaped objects have a consistent length, width, height, and shape. When dealing with an object composed of differing shapes, your must calculate each portion separately and then add them. For instance, if you have a swimming pool of two depths and want to determine cubic feet, you would have to calculate the volume for each section and then add them.

Which instrument could be used to determine the volume of an irregulary shaped soild?
A graduated cylinder may be used for small objects that are insoluble in a selected liquid. But that method would not work for determining the volume of a sugar cube (soluble in water) or a motor car (won't fit in a graduated cylinder!).
