Using the lengths shown as well as the property of an ellipse that states that the sum of the distances from each of the foci (i.e., points O and B) to any point on the ellipse is a constant, prove Eq. (5.122), that is, that the length of the semiminor axis can be related to the periapsis and apoapsis radii via
