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 Trenčín
The DMS coordinates are: 48°53'40.3'' N 18°2'39.7'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 48.89452°
LngO = 18.04436°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -48.89452°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 18.04436 - 180° = -161.95564°
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 Trenčín is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-48.89452, -161.95564)
In DMS format: 48°53'40.3'' N 18°2'39.7'' E .
