    Knowing a change in diameter over a fixed height it's a really easy bit of fag packet sketchery and school trigonometry to calculate the taper angle -
    Sine - Opposite/Hypotenuse
    Cosine - Adjacent/Hypotenuse
    Tangent - Opposite/Adjacent

    Do they still teach the basics at school? I meet so many people who don't seem familiar with them I do wonder,
