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 Dayton
The DMS coordinates are: 39°45'32.2'' N 84°11'29.8'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 39.75895°
LngO = -84.19161°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -39.75895°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -84.19161 + 180° = 95.80839°
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 Dayton is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-39.75895, 95.80839)
In DMS format: 39°45'32.2'' N 84°11'29.8'' W.
