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 Ségbana
The DMS coordinates are: 10°55'41.6'' N 3°41'39.4'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 10.92821°
LngO = 3.69429°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -10.92821°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 3.69429 - 180° = -176.30571°
Since the longitude is positive, we subtract 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would sum 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Ségbana is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-10.92821, -176.30571)
In DMS format: 10°55'41.6'' N 3°41'39.4'' E .
