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 Dzahadjou
The DMS coordinates are: 11°51'10.3'' S 43°20'59.5'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -11.85287°
LngO = 43.34987°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 11.85287°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 43.34987 - 180° = -136.65013°
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 Dzahadjou is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (11.85287, -136.65013)
In DMS format: 11°51'10.3'' S 43°20'59.5'' E .
