Immerse the object in water that is in a measurable container. The volume of the water that is displaced tels you the volume of the object.

I would divide the irregularly shaped object into different parts.
:
Example 1:
If I had a cube with a pyramid attached to it, I would take the cube, and find it's volume then find the volume of the pyramid and then add the two together.
Example 2:
If I have an object that has a cube with a dome on top of it, then I would find the volume of the half dome first, then of the cube, and then i would add the two together.
I hope this helps!

how would you find the volume of an irregularly shaped solid object?

Submerge it in a known volume of water in a graduated container.
The rise in the water is the volume of the irregularly shaped object.

use some type of fine solid, like sand. then do the same method you would with water. fill a measuring cup with sand, making note of the measurement of the sand, lets say 1 liter. then push the object into the sand, and look at the new measurement, lets say 1.5 liters. Then subtract the two, producing a volume of .5 liters. Make sure that you tap the glass so the sand is even at the top before each measurement.

Wrap the object tightly in a plastic bag, with the tie just above one corner of it (or at least the most "pointed" area). Then use the water displacement method as you would with an insoluble object. Or, use the liquid displacement method with another liquid in which the object is insoluble - such as cooking oil.

Put it in water. The amount of water it displaces will be equal to the volume of the object.

Put it in a container that measures mL or L, with a known amount of water. Subtract the amount of water from the measurement with the object and you get your answer in mL or L. If you want cubic centimeters, remember that a mL equals a cubic centimeter.

Hi. Dunk it in a full glass of water and measure the water volume that overflows.
