It is actually a means of finding the volume of an irregular shaped object. A graduated cylinder and a specific amount of water is used. Then the object is slid in. Water is measured and you figure out the difference of measures. Example: you start with 50 ml. than add the object. if it is now 25ml, the volume is 5

There is no simple formula for calculating the volume of something with an irregular shape. Instead, you can make use of a simple fact: two oblects cannot take up the same space at the same time. This method of measuring is called the DISPLACEMET METHOD.

The Liquid Displacement Method involves putting an object into a container filled with water. A measurement is then taken of how much volume of water has been displaced. This measurement can then be used to calculate the volume of the object displacing the water.
