As we have learned

Area covered by antenna -

A=\pi d{_{T}}^{2}

= \pi \cdot Rh_{T}

- wherein

h_{T}= height of antenna

R= Radius of earth

 

 Range of antenna (d_T)=\sqrt{2R_eh_t}

= \sqrt{2\times 6400\times 10^3\times 100 m^2}\approx 3.57 \times 10 ^4m

Now area covered = \pi d_{T}^{2}

        \pi (3.57 \times 10 ^8)m^2\approx 40 \times 10 ^8 sqm\: \: or \: \: 4000\: \: sq km
