$=492.2$

The Volume of an Ellipsoid with radii $=4,9 and 5$

$=pi/6times$ (major-axis) $times$ (minor axis) $times$ (vertcal-axis)

$=pi/6(2times9)(2times4)(2times5)$

$=pi/6(18times8times10)$

$=240pi$

$=754$

Volume of an Hemisphere $=2/3(pir^3)$ where $r=5$ is the radius
$=2/3pi(5)^3$

$=2/3pitimes125$

$=(250pi)/3$

$=261.8$

So the remaining volume of the Ellipsoid

$=754-261.8$

$=492.2$
