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 Kabala
The DMS coordinates are: 9°35'20.1'' N 11°33'9.2'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 9.58893°
LngO = -11.55256°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -9.58893°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -11.55256 + 180° = 168.44744°
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 Kabala is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-9.58893, 168.44744)
In DMS format: 9°35'20.1'' N 11°33'9.2'' W.
