Balsa Triangles
Balsa triangles are used for airplanes, structures, bridges, and craft projects. This particular triangular shape is called a 45x45x90 degree triangle, a right triangle, balsa tri, triangular balsa, and right angle balsa. Balsa can vary between 3# (foam weight) - 40# (oak weight) for pounds per cubic foot (lbs/cuft) but the most common densities are 8-16 pounds per cubic foot.
