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 Muar
The DMS coordinates are: 2°2'39.1'' N 102°34'8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 2.0442°
LngO = 102.5689°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -2.0442°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 102.5689 - 180° = -77.4311°
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 Muar is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-2.0442, -77.4311)
In DMS format: 2°2'39.1'' N 102°34'8'' E .
