Answer

$ c=3$

Work Step by Step

The volume of ellipsoid $\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}+\dfrac{z^2}{c^2}=1$ is given as $V=\dfrac{4}{3} \pi a \space b \space c $ Now plug in the variables, $\dfrac{4 \times 1 \times 2 \times c \space \times \pi}{3}=8\pi $ Now, solve for $ c $. Therefore, $ c=3$
