THe remaining volume is =2356.2u^3=2356.2u3

Explanation:

Volume of ellipsoid is =4/3piabc=43πabc

Volume of hemisphere is =2/3pir^3=23πr3

Remaining volume =4/3piabc-2/3pir^3=43πabc23πr3

=2/3pi(2abc-r^3)=23π(2abcr3)

=2/3pi(2*6*8*12-3^3)=23π(2681233)

=2/3pi(1152-27)=23π(115227)

=2/3pi*1125=23π1125

=2356.2=2356.2
