You can see everything in your sketches. Can you convert your sawhorse projections to Newman projection or directly draw anti- or syn-addition mechanism from Newman projection for butene or crotonic acid? Give it a try.
In addition, distinguish between symmetrical and unsymmetrical alkene, and cis- and trans-.

Now, if R1=R2≠H and such conformations are possible that in some Newman projection all identical substituents lie exactly above each other (as in the last equation (cis-syn) or in the first equation (trans-anti) after a half-molecule rotation by 180°) Meso compounds are formed.
Without asymmetric induction, in the second and third reactions, always racemates are formed.

If there were mistakes, I would discuss them.
