An ellipsoid has radii with lengths of 8 , 7 , and 9 . A portion the size of a hemisphere with a radius of 8 is removed form the ellipsoid. What is the remaining volume of the ellipsoid?

1 Answer

1038.82\ \text{unit}^3

Explanation:

The remaining volume of the ellipsoid will be equal to the difference of volume of original ellipsoid with radii a=8, b=7 & c=9 & the volume of hemi-sphere of radius r=8 hence the remaining volume of ellipsoid

\frac{4\pi}{3}abc-2/3\pir^3

=\frac{4\pi}{3}(8)(7)(9)-2/3\pi(8)^3

=\frac{992\pi}{3}

=1038.82\ \text{unit}^3
