$=613.65$

The Volume of an Ellipsoid with radii $=5,4 and 8$

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

$=pi/6(2times8)(2times4)(2times5)$

$=pi/6(16times8times10)$

$=(640pi)/3$

$=670.2$

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

$=2/3pitimes27$

$=18pi$

$=56.55$

So the remaining volume of the Ellipsoid

$=670.2-56.55$

$=613.65$
