The remaining volume is $=881.8u^3$

The volume of an ellipsoid is $V_e=4/3abc$ where $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ are the lengths.

Here,

$a=8u$

$b=4u$

and $c=7u$

so,

$V_e=4/3pixx8xx4xx7=1920pi=938.3u^3$

The volume of a hemisphere is $V_h=2/3pir^3$ where $r$ is rhe radius

Here,

$r=7u$

so,

$V_h=2/3pir^3=2/3pixx3^3=56.5u^3$

The remaining volume is

$V_r=V_e-V_h=938.3-56.5=881.8u^3$

An ellipsoid has radii with lengths of 8 8 , 4 4 , and 7 7 . A portion the size of a hemisphere with a radius of 3 3 is removed form the ellipsoid. What is the volume of the remaining ellipsoid?
