How to create triangle shape in the top-right angle of another div to look divided by border

I'd suggest, given the following mark-up:

#box {
    width: 10em;
    height: 6em;
    border: 4px solid #ccc;
    background-color: #fff;
    position: relative;
}

#box::before,
#box::after {
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    right: 0;
    border-color: transparent;
    border-style: solid;
}

#box::before {
    border-width: 1.5em;
    border-right-color: #ccc;
    border-top-color: #ccc;
}

#box::after {
    border-radius: 0.4em;
    border-width: 1.35em;
    border-right-color: #0c0;
    border-top-color: #0c0;
}
<div id="box"></div>


Place two absolutely positioned divs within a container div with position relative. Then make the triangles with the outer triangle being slightly larger than the inner triangle. Then position these elements in the upper right hand corner of the container.

HTML

<div class="container">
    <div class="inner-triangle"></div>
    <div class="outer-triangle"></div>
</div>

CSS

.container{
    border: 2px solid gray;
    position: relative;
    height: 100px;
}

.inner-triangle{
    border-left: 20px solid transparent;
    border-right: 20px solid green;
    border-bottom: 20px solid transparent;
    height: 0;
    width: 0;
    position: absolute;
    right: 0px;
    z-index: 2;
}

.outer-triangle{
    border-left: 22px solid transparent;
    border-right: 22px solid gray;
    border-bottom: 22px solid transparent;
    height: 0;
    width: 0;
    position: absolute;
    right: 0px;
    z-index: 1;
}

You could use a rotate pseudo element in conjunction to an overflow:hidden on the parent.

From here you could position the pseudo to the top right using position:absolute and you should be good to go!

div {
  height: 250px;
  width: 300px;
  background: lightgray;
  border-radius: 10px;
  border: 5px solid dimgray;
  position: relative;
  overflow: hidden;
  margin: 30px auto;
}
div:before {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  top: -60px;
  right: -60px;
  height: 100px;
  width: 100px;
  background: green;
  border: 5px solid dimgray;
  transform: rotate(45deg);
}

/***********FOR DEMO ONLY*******************/


html, body {
    margin:0;
    padding:0;height:100%;
    vertical-align:top;overflow:hidden;
    background: rgb(79, 79, 79);
    background: -moz-radial-gradient(center, ellipse cover, rgba(79, 79, 79, 1) 0%, rgba(34, 34, 34, 1) 100%);
    background: -webkit-gradient(radial, center center, 0px, center center, 100%, color-stop(0%, rgba(79, 79, 79, 1)), color-stop(100%, rgba(34, 34, 34, 1)));
    background: -webkit-radial-gradient(center, ellipse cover, rgba(79, 79, 79, 1) 0%, rgba(34, 34, 34, 1) 100%);
    background: -o-radial-gradient(center, ellipse cover, rgba(79, 79, 79, 1) 0%, rgba(34, 34, 34, 1) 100%);
    background: -ms-radial-gradient(center, ellipse cover, rgba(79, 79, 79, 1) 0%, rgba(34, 34, 34, 1) 100%);
    background: radial-gradient(ellipse at center, rgba(79, 79, 79, 1) 0%, rgba(34, 34, 34, 1) 100%);
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#4f4f4f', endColorstr='#222222', GradientType=1);
}
<div></div>
