30 POINTS !!!!!!

Why does the first method for determining volume work only for a regularly shaped object?
Will the second method for determining volume work for any object or just an irregularly shaped one? Why?
Is one method of measurement more accurate than the other? Why or why not?
Would the displacement method of measurement work for a cube of sugar? What about a cork? Why or why not?
What did you find out from this investigation? Be thoughtful in your answer.

i know it's only 5 points but heres the answer
 1. It depends what type of method you are using. if it is Height x Width x Length then it will not work for an irregular shape because it has extra pieces that would not be included. 

2. The second method would work for both regular and irregular shapes because you would have to know or find out the volume of the regular shape to get the volume for the irregular shape. 

3. It also depends on what you are doing, if you are doing a regular shape then use the first method, if it's an irregular shape then use the second method, if you do the maths correctly both should give you an accurate answer for what you want to achieve. 

4. No, because the sugar would dissolve. 

5. No, on this case the displacement method would not work because of the weight difference 

I hope this helps you a bit.

Answer:

Hope i helped

Explanation:

1.) If its height times width times length, it wold not work for irregular shape because it has extra peices that will not be included.

2.) The method will work for both because to find volume for an irregular shape you have to find it for a regular shape.

3.)Why does the first method for determining volume work only for a regularly shaped object, when using first method for regular shape and 2nd method for an irregular shape.

4.) The displacement measurement will not work for sugar because it will dissolve.

5.) It will not work because the weight is different.
