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 Hayward
The DMS coordinates are: 37°40'7.8'' N 122°4'50.9'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 37.66882°
LngO = -122.0808°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -37.66882°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -122.0808 + 180° = 57.9192°
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 Hayward is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-37.66882, 57.9192)
In DMS format: 37°40'7.8'' N 122°4'50.9'' W.
