In Finite Element Methods (FEM), in two-dimensional problems, we approximate solution on a domain but not the domain itself.

In Finite Element Methods (FEM), in two-dimensional problems, we approximate solution on a domain but not the domain itself. Correct Answer False

In two-dimensional problems, the finite elements are simple geometric shapes. These shapes can be used to approximate a given domain as well as the solution over it. Because of double approximation the accuracy of solution depends on both the approximations and is errors in two approximations gets multiplied.
