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 Sherman
The DMS coordinates are: 41°34'45.3'' N 73°29'44.4'' W.
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 41.57926°
LngO = -73.49568°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -41.57926°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = -73.49568 + 180° = 106.50432°
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 Sherman is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-41.57926, 106.50432)
In DMS format: 41°34'45.3'' N 73°29'44.4'' W.
