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 Lakewood
The DMS coordinates are: 41°28'55.2'' N 81°47'53.5'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 41.48199°
LngO = -81.79819°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -41.48199°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -81.79819 + 180° = 98.20181°
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 Lakewood is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-41.48199, 98.20181)
In DMS format: 41°28'55.2'' N 81°47'53.5'' W.
