An ellipsoid has radii with lengths of 5 , 8 , and 8 . A portion the size of a hemisphere with a radius of 3 is removed form the ellipsoid. What is the volume of the remaining ellipsoid?

=1283.85

Explanation:

The Volume of an Ellipsoid with radii =5,8 and 8
=pi/6times(major-axis)times(minor axis)times(vertcal-axis)
=pi/6(2times8)(2times5)(2times8)
=pi/6(16times10times16)
=426.67pi
=1340.4
Volume of an Hemisphere=2/3(pir^3) where r=3 is the radius
=2/3pi(3)^3
=2/3pi(27)
=18pi
=56.55
So the remaining volume of the Ellipsoid
=1340.4-56.55
=1283.85
