Question

which of the following would allow you to find the volume of an irregular shaped solid object?
a graduated cylinder
b water displacement
c triple beam balance
d length x width x height

Explanation:

• A graduated cylinder is a tool, not a method.
• Water displacement is a method to measure the volume of an irregular - shaped solid. When an irregular solid is submerged in water, the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the solid.
• A triple - beam balance is used to measure mass, not volume.
• The formula length × width × height is used to calculate the volume of regular - shaped (e.g., rectangular prism) objects, not irregular - shaped ones.

Answer:

B. water displacement
