In the olden days the thinking was that a vertical conductor (your 
tower) provided a "Cone of Protection" with a 30 degree cone angle so 
protection at ground level was out to a radial distance of 1/2 the tower 
height.  This sort of a rule of thumb offered no iron clad guarantee but 
sort of worked.  If your new 40 ft tower's top is above the cone of 
protection from the other towers don't rely on their protection.
