Instantiate objects in an arc shape

Questions & Answers

I have this function that moves the object around a circle:

void arrangeCardsInHand(Player newPlayer){
		
		int numCards = newPlayer.Hand.Count;
		var centrePos = new Vector3(0, 300 ,0);
		
		for (var cardNum = 0;cardNum < numCards;cardNum++) {
			var i = (cardNum * 1.0 / numCards);
			
			//angle in radians, full circle has a radian angle of 2PI, so we find the radian angle between 
			//2 of our points by dividing 2PI by the number of points
			var angle = (float)(i * Mathf.PI * 2);
			
			var radiusX = 10000.0;
			var radiusZ = 4300.0;
			
			var x =(float)( Mathf.Sin (angle) * radiusX);
			var z = (float)(Mathf.Cos (angle) * radiusZ);
			
			var cardName = newPlayer.Hand[cardNum].cardName;
			GameObject.Find(cardName).transform.position = new Vector3(x, 0 ,z) + centrePos;
			
			
		}
		
	}

I want the cards to be arranged in the top arc of the circle (1/4 of a full circle).

I have no idea how to work out the starting and the ending point into this formula tho.
I’m also open for other ideas (like beziers or w/e) if you think this is not the best solution for what I want to do.

Any answer is appreciated.

Something like:

var angle = (float)(i * Mathf.PI * 2) + Mathf.PI / 4; // add 45 degrees

and adjust i to end at 135 degrees (Mathf.PI * 3 / 4)
