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 Tasek Glugor
The DMS coordinates are: 5°28'49.2'' N 100°29'54.6'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 5.48032°
LngO = 100.49849°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -5.48032°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 100.49849 - 180° = -79.50151°
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 Tasek Glugor is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-5.48032, -79.50151)
In DMS format: 5°28'49.2'' N 100°29'54.6'' E .
