The antipode can be calculated by understanding the geographic coordinates and applying simple formulas. We will use the following variables:
Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of Río Cuarto
The DMS coordinates are: 33°7'50.4'' S 64°20'59.7'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -33.13067°
LngO = -64.34992°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 33.13067°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -64.34992 + 180° = 115.65008°
Since the longitude is negative, we sum 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would subtract 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Río Cuarto is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (33.13067, 115.65008)
In DMS format: 33°7'50.4'' S 64°20'59.7'' W.
