Today I am going to talk about finding the volume of irregular objects. Well first you want to use a method called water displacement. The things you need to have are water, a graduated cylinder, and an irregular object. Once you have an irregular object you want to fill up your graduated cylinder. You can fill it up like to the middle of the graduated cylinder. You want to record how much water you put.
When you have that done you want to put the object in the graduated cylinder, and as you can see the water level rose. So now you want to subtract the water level when the object is in the graduated cylinder with the water level that it began with. Now you have your volume of an irregular object.
