Detailed Solution

The complex [Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂], pt−Cl has square planar geometry.

The isomer will be trans if the distance between two chlorine atoms is twice the C-Cl bond length.

The isomer will be cis if the distance between two chlorine atoms is less than twice the C-Cl bond length. This is the case in the given complex as 2.8A^o<2×2A^o

Thus the given complex is cis square planar complex.
