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 Hatillo
The DMS coordinates are: 18°29'10.8'' N 66°49'31.6'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 18.48633°
LngO = -66.82545°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -18.48633°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -66.82545 + 180° = 113.17455°
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 Hatillo is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-18.48633, 113.17455)
In DMS format: 18°29'10.8'' N 66°49'31.6'' W.
