How?

         Have you ever wondered how to get the volume of an irregular shaped object? If you have and don't know how, I will tell you how. First of all, volume is the length times width times height and then you get your answer. You want to get something full of water and that can hold your irregular figure. So you place your irregular object in the water and subtract that number and the regular number. For example, if I need to measure a rock, lets say I put in 40 grams of water then I put the rock in and it goes up to 60 grams, then that means the 60 - 40 = 20 so the volume of the rock is 20. Lets try another one. I want to see what a bouncy balls volume is.

    Step 1: Find how much grams of water you put in the graduated cylinder. (60g)
    Step 2: Place bouncy ball inside water, see how much that is now.  (70g)
    Step 3: Subtract the changed number from the original number.  (70 - 60 = 10)
                    ANSWER: your volume is 10.
