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.

What do you use the water displacement method to measure?

The water displacement method is commonly used to measure the volume of irregularly shaped objects. When the object is submerged in water, the amount of water displaced is equal to the volume of the object. This method is frequently used in science labs and in determining the density of materials.


What is the purpose of water displacement?

Water displacement is a method used to measure the volume of an irregularly shaped object by submerging it in a container of water and measuring the amount of water that is displaced. This helps in determining the volume of the object without the need for complex measurements.
