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 Masingbi
The DMS coordinates are: 8°46'55.1'' N 11°57'6.2'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 8.78197°
LngO = -11.95171°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -8.78197°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -11.95171 + 180° = 168.04829°
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 Masingbi is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-8.78197, 168.04829)
In DMS format: 8°46'55.1'' N 11°57'6.2'' W.
