=613.65

Explanation:

The Volume of an Ellipsoid with radii =5,4and8

=π6×(major-axis)×(minor axis)×(vertcal-axis)

=π6(2×8)(2×4)(2×5)

=π6(16×8×10)

=640π3

=670.2

Volume of an Hemisphere=23(πr3) where r=3 is the radius
=23π(3)3

=23π×27

=18π

=56.55

So the remaining volume of the Ellipsoid

=670.256.55

=613.65
