I need to draw a cone shape with the top cut off. Bottom diameter is 1", top is 1/8", height is 1/2".

and?
What do you want? plan, elevation, oblique / isometric view?
You can't create 3d surfaces or solids in acad LT though you can make a wireframe model.
If you start with -
Command: c
CIRCLE Specify center point for circle or [3P/2P/Ttr (tan tan radius)]:
0,0,0
Specify radius of circle or [Diameter]:
0.5
Command:
c
CIRCLE Specify center point for circle or [3P/2P/Ttr (tan tan radius)]:
0,0,0
Specify radius of circle or [Diameter] <0.5000>:
0.0625
Command: m
MOVE
Select objects:
[pick the small circle]
1 found
Select objects:
Specify base point or [Displacement] <Displacement>:
[pick any point]
Specify second point or <use first point as displacement>:
@0,0,0.5
Command:
_-view
Enter an option
[?/Delete/Orthographic/Restore/Save/sEttings/Window]:
_swiso [to get a better view]
Regenerating model.
Then you can draw 4 lines between the quadrant osnap points on the circles. If you want more than 4 lines, you'll need to use the divide command on each circle to place points to snap to. it might be best to break each circle first though.
You might end up with something like this but it will not hide.
