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 Hutchinson
The DMS coordinates are: 38°3'39'' N 97°55'47.2'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 38.06084°
LngO = -97.92977°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -38.06084°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -97.92977 + 180° = 82.07023°
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 Hutchinson is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-38.06084, 82.07023)
In DMS format: 38°3'39'' N 97°55'47.2'' W.
