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 Moneague
The DMS coordinates are: 18°16'32'' N 77°6'42.4'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 18.27556°
LngO = -77.11177°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -18.27556°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -77.11177 + 180° = 102.88823°
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 Moneague is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-18.27556, 102.88823)
In DMS format: 18°16'32'' N 77°6'42.4'' W.
