Dear Dave (no call):
If you wish to get down to details, the standard for most of such
calculations can be found in ANSI/TIA standard 222G. Put 222G and wind - or
the like - into Google. A copy of the standard itself is expensive.
Earlier versions were quite inexpensive.
For low towers and antennas, especially in an urban or built-up area,
simple is usually good enough.

Dave,
That's probably as accurate as needed. Probably the average person
just figures the 'square' area and leaves it at that. At least that
would give you some 'wiggle room' when figuring what support is
needed. If you're talking about graded classroom stuff, you're on
your own! Been too long for me...

Thanks, you've got a point there. Better to error on the safe side.
