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

To find the volume of an irregularly shaped solid object, the most suitable method from the options provided is: **d. water displacement** ### Explanation: 1. **Length \( x \) Width \( x \) Height (Option a)**: This method applies to regular-shaped objects (like cubes or rectangular prisms) where you can measure the dimensions directly. It does not work for irregular shapes. 2. **Triple Beam Balance (Option b)**: This tool is used to measure mass, not volume. While you can find the density of an object using mass and volume, it does not directly measure the volume of an irregular object. 3. **Graduated Cylinder (Option c)**: While a graduated cylinder is used to measure liquid volumes, it does not directly measure the volume of solid objects unless used in conjunction with water displacement. 4. **Water Displacement (Option d)**: This method involves submerging the irregular object in water and measuring the volume of water displaced. This is a direct way to find the volume of irregularly shaped objects. Thus, the correct answer is **d. water displacement**.
