An ellipsoid has radii with lengths of 2, 7, and 3. A portion the size of a hemisphere with a radius of 3 is removed form the ellipsoid. What is the remaining volume of the ellipsoid?

=119.45

Explanation:

The Volume of an Ellipsoid with radii =2,7and3

=π6×(major-axis)×(minor axis)×(vertcal-axis)

=π6(2×7)(2×2)(2×3)

=π6(14×4×6)

=56π

=176

Volume of an Hemisphere=23(πr3) where r=3 is the radius
=23π(3)3

=23π×27

=18π

=56.55

So the remaining volume of the Ellipsoid

=17656.55

=119.45
