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 = 2 π r 2 ( h 1 + h 2 ) , we have
V = 2 π ( 3 ) 2 ( 3 + 9 ) ≈ 1 6 9 . 6 5

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 ≈ 1 6 9 . 6 5 .
