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 Subang Jaya
The DMS coordinates are: 3°2'37.8'' N 101°34'50.2'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 3.04384°
LngO = 101.58062°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -3.04384°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 101.58062 - 180° = -78.41938°
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 Subang Jaya is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-3.04384, -78.41938)
In DMS format: 3°2'37.8'' N 101°34'50.2'' E .
