Area of a circle = 3.14 * r * r 10 sq miles = 3.14 * r * r r = 1.7846 miles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_site (information retrieved Nov 24, 2006) "In practice, cell sites are grouped in areas of high population density, with the most potential users. Cell phone traffic through a single cell site is limited by the site's capacity (there is a finite number of calls that a site can handle at once), and this limitation is another factor affecting the spacing of cell sites. In suburban areas, sites are commonly spaced 2-3 km apart, and in dense urban areas, sites may be as close as 500-1000 meters apart." "commonly spaced 2-3 km apart" 1 kilometers = 0.621371192 miles 1.24 to 1.864 miles range
