Problem 4 – Hint 2

The Runge-Lenz vector is a sum of two vectors, and is conserved. Out of these two vectors, one has a constant length. Hence, if the vectorial sum is represented as a triangle of vectors with one fixed side (the one corresponding to the Runge-Lenz vector), the opposite vertex of the triangle draws a full circle during one orbital period.
