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 Kalengwa
The DMS coordinates are: 13°27'57.1'' S 25°0'9.8'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -13.46586°
LngO = 25.00271°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 13.46586°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 25.00271 - 180° = -154.99729°
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 Kalengwa is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (13.46586, -154.99729)
In DMS format: 13°27'57.1'' S 25°0'9.8'' E .
