From the three dimensions of the object and multiply them together (if it is a regular solid). If the object is a solid, you can use volume displacement to determine the volume:
Fill a measuring container half filled with water and mark its volume. Place your object (must not dissolve in water) in water and marks its new volume. The difference between the two volumes is the volume of your object.
If the object is a liquid, you can measure its volume directly.

If you can dip it in water, then its volume would be the amount of water it displaces. This is applicable if the body can be dipped in water and is useful if it has irregular shape. If it has a perfect shape like a cube or cone or sphere than you have standard formulas, altho the above method can also be used to find volume.

depends on what the object is...
for a cuboid (box shape)
Volume, V = length x width x height
[ ^^ this is probably what you need ^^]
for a shape with uniform cross section
its the cross sectional area x the length
for a sphere its 4/3 Pi R^3
where R is the radius
if you shape isnt one of these get back to me and i can help more!

It depends on what the object is. If it is a box, then it is length times width times height. If it is a cylinder, it is pi*h*r^2
If you know the objects mass and density, Volume is mass over density.

Can you give more details for your question? Volume of what? What information are you given?....

length x width x height
