We note from the figure above that the top half of the obliquely cut part of the cylinder can flip over to fill up the bottom half to make a cylinder with a height of 6. Therefore the volume of the obliquely cut cylinder is V = π × 3 2 × 6 169.65 V = \pi \times 3^2 \times 6 \approx \boxed{169.65} .

I did almost similar, but I placed the whole figure on top to get a cilinder with height 12. Taking half of the result is the volume of the figure given.

We can use the derived formula: V = π r 2 ( h 1 + h 2 ) 2 V=\dfrac{\pi r^2(h_1+h_2)}{2} , we have

V = π ( 3 ) 2 ( 3 + 9 ) 2 V=\dfrac{\pi (3)^2(3+9)}{2} \approx 169.65 \boxed{169.65}
