Answer:
simple formula for calculating hybridisation =
(no. of valence electrons over central atom+- charge +no. of monovalent atoms like hydrogen, chlorine etc. )÷2
here no. valence of e- on central atom i.e. boron are 3
no. of monovalent atom are 3 ( three chlorine)
both above adds to give 6 and divided by 2 equals to 3,
therefore hybridisation will be sp2 and shape will be trigonal planar
