    In the same way that a circle turns into a solid sphere, an ellipse can become a solid "ellipsoid".

    There are two special types of ellipsoid. Suppose if we have a sphere and stretch it to make a longer and thinner shape (a bit like a rugby ball or a melon). In such case it is called a prolate ellipsoid. If we chop it in half to get a circle, then the volume is the area of the circle times 2/3rd of the major axis. (The major axis is the maximum length from the one end to the other.)

    However if we have a sphere and squash it to make a shorter fatter shape (a bit like a burger). In such case it is called an oblate ellipsoid. If we chop it through the middle to get a circle, then the volume is the area of the circle times 2/3rd of the minor axis.

    Example 1: An ellipsoid whose radius and its axes are a= 21 cm, b= 15 cm and c = 2 cm respectively. Determine the volume for the given ellipsoid. Solution: Volume of ellipsoid: V = 4/3 a b c V = 4/3 21 15 2 V = 2640 cm3 Example 2: The ellipsoid whose radii are given as r1 = 9 cm, r2 = 6 cm and r3 = 3 cm. Find the volume of ellipsoid. Solution: Radius (r1) = 9 cm Radius (r2) = 6 cm Radius (r3) = 3 cm The volume of the ellipsoid: V = 4/3 r1 r2 r3 V = 4/3 9 6 3

    V = 678.24 cm3 Volume of ellipsoid (V) = 678.24 cubic units Example 3: An ellipsoid whose radii are given as r1 = 12 cm, r2 = 10 cm and r3 = 9 cm. Find the volume of the ellipsoid. Solution: Radius (r1) = 12 cm Radius (r2) = 10 cm Radius (r3) = 9 cm The volume of the ellipsoid: V = 4/3 r1 r2 r3 V = 4/3 12 10 9 V = 4521.6 cm3
