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 Nzérékoré
The DMS coordinates are: 7°45'22.5'' N 8°49'4.4'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 7.75624°
LngO = -8.8179°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -7.75624°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -8.8179 + 180° = 171.1821°
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 Nzérékoré is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-7.75624, 171.1821)
In DMS format: 7°45'22.5'' N 8°49'4.4'' W.
