We discuss the error analysis of linear interpolation on triangular elements. We claim that the circumradius condition is more essential than the well-known maximum angle condition for convergence of the finite element method, especially for the linear Lagrange finite element. Numerical experiments show that this condition is the best possible. We also point out that the circumradius condition is closely related to the definition of surface area.
