Using the TI-83/TI-89, our quartic regression equation (rounded to 4 decimal places) was
The volume of the vase was determined by:
The computed value for this was 664686.246094 cubic pixels
Using the ratio of 1 cm = 4 pixels (Vase height of 50 cm = 200 pixels), this converts to
Your volume should be approximately between 10,000 and 11,000 cubic centimeters.
