Detailed Solution
Let the two perpendicular lines be the coordinate axes. Let (x, y) be the point, sum of whose distances from two axes is1. Then we must have |x|+|y|=1 or ±x±y=1The four lines are x+y=1,x−y=1,−x+y=1,−x−y=1Any two adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other. Also, each line is equidistant from the origin. Therefore, the figure formed is a square.
