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 Cueibet
The DMS coordinates are: 7°1'36'' N 29°14'46'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 7.02667°
LngO = 29.24611°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -7.02667°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 29.24611 - 180° = -150.75389°
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 Cueibet is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-7.02667, -150.75389)
In DMS format: 7°1'36'' N 29°14'46'' E .
