Project angled edge onto plane (like casting shadow)

Hello. I am very new to Fusion, and don't know the jargon well enough, so forgive my ignorance as I learn. I will try to describe in simple geometric terms.
Imagine a cylinder whose base is the XY plane, the central axis of which is in the Z direction. Slice off the top of the cylinder at a 20 degree angle. I want to project that top angled edge onto the XY plane, along the Z axis, at a 15 degree angle as if I were shining a light straight down the Z axis and casting a shadow on the XY plane. The resultant shadow should be eliptical.
I was able to create the cylinder and sloped top face, but am stuck on how to project a shadow. It's supposed to represent a draft angle so I can know what the bottom outside shape will look like. I attached my cylinder drawing, and a crude sketch of what I'm talking about. Greatly appreciate any help.
