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 Mhlume
The DMS coordinates are: 26°1'60'' S 31°51'0'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -26.03333°
LngO = 31.85°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 26.03333°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 31.85 - 180° = -148.15°
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 Mhlume is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (26.03333, -148.15)
In DMS format: 26°1'60'' S 31°51'0'' E .
