$Volume = 238 π {units}^{3}$ $color(blue)("Volume"=238pi " units"^3)$

Explanation:

The volume of an ellipsoid is given by:

$V = \frac{4}{3} π \cdot a \cdot b \cdot c$ $V=4/3pi*a*b*c$

Where $a, b, c$ $a, b, c$ are the radii of the ellipsoid.

The volume of a hemisphere is half the volume of a sphere:

Volume of a sphere is:

$V = \frac{4}{3} π r^{3}$ $V=4/3pir^3$

So volume of hemisphere is:

$V = \frac{2}{3} π r^{3}$ $V=2/3pir^3$

To find the volume of the ellipsoid when the hemisphere is removed, we just find the volume of the ellipsoid and subtract the volume of the hemisphere:

$V = \frac{4}{3} π \cdot a \cdot b \cdot c - \frac{2}{3} π r^{3}$ $V=4/3pi*a*b*c-2/3pir^3$

$V = \frac{2}{3} π (2 a b c - r^{3})$ $V=2/3pi(2abc-r^3)$

Substituting values:

$V = \frac{2}{3} π (2 \cdot 3 \cdot 8 \cdot 8 - 3^{3})$ $V=2/3pi(2*3*8*8-3^3)$

$V = \frac{2}{3} π (357)$ $V=2/3pi(357)$

$V = 238 π$ $V=238pi$
