Answer:
Measuring with a ruler and using final volume minus initial volume
Explanation:
You can measure the volume of a geometric object by measuring its sides with a ruler and calculating the volume according to the corresponding formula for each object. For example, for a rectangular prism it would be
You can also measure the volume of an object by measuring how much water it displaces. To do this you have to fill a measuring cylinder with enough water for the object to be completely submerged and take note of the volume. Then, add the object and note again the volume of the water+object. The difference between both is the volume of the object.
The advantage of the second method is that it can be used for objects with irregular shapes as long as they do not float.
