Finding Volume For a solid, regularly shaped object, use the formula length x width x height. v = l x w x h
Finding Volume For an irregularly shaped object you must use the water displacement method. 1. measure the volume of water in a graduated cylinder 2. gently lower the object into the water 3. remeasure the volume of the water in the graduated cylinder 4. subtract 5. the difference is the volume of the object
