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 Sarandí del Yi
The DMS coordinates are: 33°21'0'' S 55°37'60'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -33.35°
LngO = -55.63333°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 33.35°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -55.63333 + 180° = 124.36667°
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 Sarandí del Yi is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (33.35, 124.36667)
In DMS format: 33°21'0'' S 55°37'60'' W.
