How to Get the Volume of an Irregular Shaped Object

Finding the volume of an irregular shaped object is much easier than it may sound.  All you have to do is use the displacement method.  The displacement method is very simple.  All you need to do is have a measured container of water.  Then you put the object in the water and however much the water rises is what the volume of the object is.  For example, lets say you are trying to find the volume of a small rock.  You have a container of 500 milliliters of water and when you put the rock in, the water rises to 600 milliliters.  By doing this you know that the volume of the rock is 100 milliliters because the water rose 100 milliliters when the rock went in.  This is called the displacement method.
