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 Bandundu
The DMS coordinates are: 3°19'0.7'' S 17°22'50.3'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -3.31687°
LngO = 17.38063°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 3.31687°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 17.38063 - 180° = -162.61937°
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 Bandundu is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (3.31687, -162.61937)
In DMS format: 3°19'0.7'' S 17°22'50.3'' E .
