You do not need fancy lab equipment.Basically you need to determine two pieces of information1) The mass of the "irregular" shape (use a scale)2) The volume of the shape (use water displacement in a bucket/tub to find volume)Take the mass / volume and you have density.
The unit used to measure irregular volume is cubic centimeters (cm3). However, liters may be used - 1 cm3 is equal to 1 milliliter.
because the shape has no correct sides.
It is an irregular galaxy.
graduated cylindergraduated cylinderSubmerge your solid in a liquid the liquid volume displaced is equal to your irregular solid volume.
The best way to find the volume of an irregular shape is to split it up into shapes that you know, find the volumes of those individual pieces, and then add up all of the volumes of the split pieces to get your total volume of the irregular shape.
Volume of irregular or regular shape object is the space reserved by the object in any medium.
One way to find the volume of a large irregular shape object is to use the displacement method. Submerge the object in a container of water and measure the volume of water displaced. This volume is equal to the volume of the irregular object.
If a shape is two dimensional it has NO volume - volume is an attribute of THREE dimensional shapes.If you meant the AREA of an irregular two dimensional shape, then divided it up into areas which are not irregular and so you can calculates them, and sum the areas of these non-irregular shapes.If you meant the volume of an irregular THREE dimensional shape, then a similar process can be followed by dividing it up into three dimensional shapes you can can calculate the volume of and summing them, though if it is an irregular object that you are physically holding, then you can find its volume by finding the increase in volume of a liquid (In a regular container) when the object is submerged into that liquid.
The method of finding the volume of an object with an irregular shape is called displacement method or water displacement method. This method involves submerging the irregular object in water and measuring the volume of water displaced to determine the object's volume.

Archimedes took a bowl full of water of known volume and then dipped the irregular shape body. Amount of water fall down is measured and is the volume of that body.
An irregular volume is one that has no simple equation to describe it's shape. An example would be a cylinder with a cone on it's end. The shape can often be divided into two or more regular shapes which have known equations that describe them. In this case, a cylinder and a cone. To then find the total volume of the irregular shape, you sum the volumes of the individual regular shape volumes.
To find the density of an irregular shape, you will first need to measure its mass using a scale. Next, you will need to find the volume of the shape, which can be done by water displacement method or by using a formula suitable for the shape. Finally, divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the irregular shape.
A container of liquid in which to immerse the shape.
You get the Volume by using formulas. There is usually a specific formula to find the volume of each shape. Some irregular shapes may not have a formula.
