the solid is really just a right-cylinder missing a chunk.

so a full circle is 360°, now from the one in the picture above we're missing 90°, that means the cylinder is only using 270°, 360-90=270.

Well, 270° is just 3/4 of a full circle, and since the circle extends all the way down the solid cylinder, we can also say that's 3/4 of the volume of the cylinder, so hmmm let's just get the full volume of the cylinder with a radius of 6 and a height of 12 and then only grab 3/4 of it.


\textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\ V=\pi r^2 h~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=6\\ h=12 \end{cases}\implies V=\pi (6)^2(12)\implies V=432\pi \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{now let's just grab }(3)/(4)}{432\pi \cdot \cfrac{3}{4}}\implies 324\pi ~~ \approx ~~ \text{\LARGE 1017.88}
