    Surface area approximations using the Lagrange and Crouzeix-Raviart interpolations on triangulations are presented. An alternative proof for the classical result of Young, claiming that areas of inscribed polygonal surfaces converge to the area of the original surface under the maximum angle condition on the triangulation, is provided for the case of Lagrange interpolations. Furthermore, for the Crouzeix-Raviart interpolations, it is shown that the approximated surface areas converge to the area of the original surface without any geometric conditions on the triangulation.
