your question is incomplete . A complete question is ------> Why images formed by an object placed between two plane mirrors whose reflecting surfaces make an
angle of 90° with one another lies on a circle?
solve :- we know, thee object and its all virtual images lie equidistant from each other on a circle whose center is the line between the two mirrors, in a plane perpendicular to that line.
an important fact is that, a mirror reflects light from it at the same angle in the opposite direction to its original path. e.g., the angle of reflection = the angle of incidence,
For a light ray perpendicular to the mirror’s surface, the angle of incidence equals zero, as does the angle of reflection, and the ray is reflected back on itself.
For any nonzero angle of incidence, the light ray emerges at the same angle on the opposite side of the normal.
that's why images formed by an object placed between two plane mirrors whose reflecting surfaces make an angle of 90° with one another lies on a circle.

Answer:
Circle
Explanation:
Because all the images are at equidistance from the object.
