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 Ségou
The DMS coordinates are: 13°26'25.2'' N 6°15'34.1'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 13.44032°
LngO = -6.25947°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -13.44032°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -6.25947 + 180° = 173.74053°
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 Ségou is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-13.44032, 173.74053)
In DMS format: 13°26'25.2'' N 6°15'34.1'' W.
