I dont know what your answer says.
But the fact is Bcl3 is a trognol planer geometry with 120 degree angle.
and PCl6- has 90 degree bond angle b/w P-cl. as having an octahederal shape.

BCl3 has trigonal planar geometry having bond angle 120° bond angle.In pCl5 there are two types of bonds 90°and 180°. {180°>120°}
