Ellipse: Path Parameter, conjugate radius

Given an ellipse in the form [math]\;\;\;[/math] [b]r[/b](t) =cos t [b]a [/b]+ sin t [b]b[/b], and a moving point on the arc, [b]Proposition:[/b] Determine the path parameter of the moving point, and find the conjugate radius. In case, say, you tried the ConjugateDiameter[] and found that it doesn't give the conjugate diameter.
