Assume that in each pair of figures, the second polygon is similar to the first, with the same orientation. Perform these steps.

Can someone please solve them if my work is right? Thanks.
1. We have that
6/9 = t / [ t + 2 ] cross-multiply
6 [ t + 2] = 9t
6t + 12 = 9t subtract 6t from both sides
12 = 3t divide both sides by 3
4 = t
t + 2 = 6
We can find the missing side S of the figure on the right, thusly
11/9 = S /[ t + 2]
11/9 = S / 6 cross-multiply
11* 6 = 9S
66 = 9S divide both sides by 9
66/9 = S = 22/3
2.
6/8 = [ w - 5 ] / w cross-multiply
6w = 8 [ w - 5 ]
6w = 8w - 40 subtract 8w from both sides
-2w = -40 divide both sides by -2
w = 20
w - 5 = 15
To find one missing side in the second figure that would be the couter-part to the side of 9 in the first figure we have that
Missing side/ w = 9/8
Missing side 20 = 9/8 multiply both sides by 20
Missing side = 20 * 9 / 8 = 180 / 8 = 22.5
And to find the last missing side of the second figure that is a counter-part to the side of 14 in the first figure we have that
Missing side / 22.5 = 14/ 9
Missing side = 22.5 * 14 / 9 = 35
3.
t/ 4 = [ t + 1 ] / 6 cross-multiply
6t = 4 [ t + 1 ]
6t = 4t + 4 subtract 4t from both sides
2t = 4 divide both sides by 2
t = 2
t + 1 = 3
To find the remaining missing side in the first figure we have that
Missing side / t = 10/ [ t + 1 ]
Missing side / 2 = 10/ 3
Missing side = 2 * 10 / 3 = 20/3
