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 Betim
The DMS coordinates are: 19°58'4'' S 44°11'54'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -19.96778°
LngO = -44.19833°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 19.96778°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -44.19833 + 180° = 135.80167°
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 Betim is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (19.96778, 135.80167)
In DMS format: 19°58'4'' S 44°11'54'' W.
