=1849.35

Explanation:

The Volume of an Ellipsoid with radii =6,7 and 12
=pi/6times(major-axis)times(minor axis)times(vertcal-axis)
=pi/6(2times12)(2times7)(2times6)
=pi/6(24times14times12)
=672pi
=2111.15
Volume of an Hemisphere=2/3(pir^3) where r=5 is the radius
=2/3pi(5)^3
=2/3pi(125)
=250/3pi
=261.8
So the remaining volume of the Ellipsoid
=2111.15-261.8
=1849.35
