$color(green)(V_r = color(green)(936.5714)$ cubic units

Ellipsoid volume $V_e = (4/3) pi a b c$

Given : $a = 14, b= 7, c = 6$

$color(blue)(V_e) = (4/3) pi (14*7*6) = color(blue)(2464)$ cubic units

Volume of hemi sphere $V_h = (2/3) pi r^3$

Given $r = 9$

$color(blue)(V_h) = (2/3) pi 9^3 = color(blue)(1527.4286)$ cubic units

Remaining volume of ellipsoid

$color(green)(V_r =2464 - 1527.4286 = color(green)(936.5714)$ cubic units
