3 Year Resonance

Period (T) of Asteroid Orbit
T= 3 yr = 1,095.75 days 
Semimajor Axis (a)
a = ∛(T2) = 2.08 AU
Perihelion (q)

q = a - c
    Focus (c)

c = a - q
    c2 = a2 -2aq + q2  
Semiminor Axis (b)

b2 = a2 - c2  
b2 = 2aq - q2  = q (2a - q)
b = √(q (2a - q))
Semi Latis Rectum ()
  = b2 / a
q
b
