The correct generalization of the volume of pyramids or cones is:
The volume of a pyramid or cone is one-third the volume of the larger shape that it comes from.
In mathematical terms, if the base area of the pyramid or cone is \( B \) and its height is \( h \), the volume \( V \) is given by the formula:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3} B h \]
