wth.
v=Cube side3
Rectangular Prism side1 * side2 * side3
Sphere (4/3) * pi * radius3
Ellipsoid (4/3) * pi * radius1 * radius2 * radius3
Cylinder pi * radius2 * height
Cone (1/3) * pi * radius2 * height
Pyramid (1/3) * (base area) * height
Torus (1/4) * pi2 * (r1 + r2) * (r1 - r2)2

Fill half the bathtub with specified cubic feet of water.
Dip completely the 5-year old boy in the bathtub and take the volume in cubic feet of water while he is still underwater.
Deduct the cubic feet of water you put in the tub from the volume in cubic feet of water while the boy was underwater.
The difference is the volume in cubic feet of the 5-year old boy.

Can not be answered with data provided.
Age does not determine volume size or space ocuppied by a body. You can have a 4 yrs old boy with the same volume of a 5 yrs old child. Or can have a 36 yrs old midget with the same size of a 5 yrs old.

One cubic foot of water weights 62.4 pounds.
The density or specific gravity of humans is very close to
that of water. Thats why we barely float in water.
So, you weigh the 5 year old child on a regular weight scale.
Let's say they weigh 50 pounds.
You divide 50 by 62.4 and get 0.801 cubic feet.
In other words whatever they weight is in pounds you divide that by 62.4 and it always comes out in cubic feet, which is what you are after.

Use a tub of water, meausre intial volume and post volume. Take that value and convert it to cubic feet!

Hollow him out and then fill him up with water. Alternatively, chuck him in the bath and see how much the water level rises.

Use the displacement method.

agree with the 2nd guy- use a "graduated cylinder"
