An ellipsoid has radii with lengths of 6 , 5 , and 7 . A portion the size of a hemisphere with a radius of 6 is removed form the ellipsoid. What is the remaining volume of the ellipsoid?

=427.25

Explanation:

The Volume of an Ellipsoid
=pi/6times(major-axis)times(minor axis)times(vertcal-axis)
=pi/6(2times6)(2times5)(2times7)
=pi/6(12times10times14)
=280pi
=879.65
Volume of an Hemisphere=2/3(pir^3) where r=6 is the radius
=2/3pi(6)^3
=2/3pi(216)
=2pi(72)
=144pi
=452.4
So the remaining volume of the Ellipsoid
=879.65-452.4
=427.25
