What is in this set

The numbers in this set run from 2 to 16.
A careful solution takes 2 written steps on average.
The mistake this set invites most often, in 100% of the problems: the base and the height were multiplied and left there; a triangle is half of the rectangle around it.
Answers are a whole number.

Drawing 240 problems from this page produced 120 different ones, 50% — so a sheet of 20 will come back to a problem you have seen — there are only so many sensible ones of this kind.
