1. **Problem Statement:**
We have parallelogram ABCD reflected across the x-axis and then rotated 180° clockwise about the origin to form parallelogram EFGH.
2. **Transformations:**
- Reflection across the x-axis changes a point $(x,y)$ to $(x,-y)$.
- Rotation 180° clockwise about the origin changes a point $(x,y)$ to $(-x,-y)$.
3. **Effect on vertices:**
If $A(x_A,y_A)$, then after reflection: $A'(x_A,-y_A)$.
After rotation: $E(-x_A,y_A)$ (since rotation is applied after reflection, the final point is $(-x_A,y_A)$).
Similarly for other vertices.
4. **Properties of parallelograms:**
Opposite sides are parallel.
Transformations preserve parallelism.
5. **Check each statement:**
- Side EF parallel to GH: True (opposite sides in parallelogram).
- Side EH parallel to GH: False (adjacent sides are not parallel).
- Side GF parallel to FE: True (opposite sides are parallel).
- Side EH parallel to FG: True (opposite sides are parallel).
**Final answers:**
- Side EF is parallel to side GH: True
- Side EH is parallel to side GH: False
- Side GF is parallel to side FE: True
- Side EH is parallel to side FG: True
