The remaining volume is #=8.38u^3#

The volume of an ellipsoid is

#V_e=4/3piabc#

The volume of a hemisphere is

#V_h=1/2*4/3pir^3=2/3pir^3#

Here,

#a=1#

#b=3#

#c=2#

#r=2#

The remaining volume is

#V_r=V_e-V_h#

#=4/3piabc-2/3pir^3#

#=2/3pi(2abc-r^3)#

#=2/3pi(2*1*3*2-2^3)#

#=2/3pi*(12-8)#

#=8/3pi#

#=8.38u^3#
