1. **Problem Statement:** Reflect the given rectangle across the x-axis.
2. **Understanding Reflection Across the x-axis:**
When a point $(x,y)$ is reflected across the x-axis, its x-coordinate remains the same, but the y-coordinate changes sign. The formula for reflection across the x-axis is:
$$ (x,y) \to (x,-y) $$
3. **Given Points:**
The rectangle has vertices at:
- $C = (2,3)$
- $H = (2,5)$
- $G = (4,5)$
- $E = (4,3)$
4. **Apply Reflection Formula:**
Reflect each vertex across the x-axis:
- $C' = (2,-3)$
- $H' = (2,-5)$
- $G' = (4,-5)$
- $E' = (4,-3)$
5. **Result:**
The reflected rectangle has vertices at $C'(2,-3)$, $H'(2,-5)$, $G'(4,-5)$, and $E'(4,-3)$.
This completes the reflection of the rectangle across the x-axis.
