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: 40°22'27.1'' N 86°46'8'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 40.3742°
LngO = -86.7689°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -40.3742°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -86.7689 + 180° = 93.2311°
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) = (-40.3742, 93.2311)
In DMS format: 40°22'27.1'' N 86°46'8'' W.
