That slanted line could be part of a cross section through the middle of the cylinder. One may imagine or GUESS from your description that you may have a rectangular cross section and the slanted SEGMENT (NOT a line) is a diagonal of the rectangle. One would then draw or imagine the rectangle split into two right triangles.
Let y be the length of one leg, and take 6 as the other leg.
Solve for y, and then use formula for volume of a cylinder to calculate and evaluate the volume.
