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 Beja
The DMS coordinates are: 38°0'54.2'' N 7°51'47.6'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 38.01506°
LngO = -7.86323°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -38.01506°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -7.86323 + 180° = 172.13677°
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 Beja is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-38.01506, 172.13677)
In DMS format: 38°0'54.2'' N 7°51'47.6'' W.
