define css arrow's degree - css

Question

How would I define the degree of an arrow created with css follows
<div class="bubble"></div>
.bubble
{
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FF7401;
border: 3px solid silver;
border-radius: 25px;
bottom: 18px;
float: right;
height: 63px;
margin-right: 10px;
padding: 0;
position: relative;
width: 250px;
}
.bubble:after
{
content: '';
position: absolute;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 29px 16px 0;
border-color: #ff7401 transparent;
display: block;
width: 0;
z-index: 1;
bottom: -29px;
left: 47px;
}
.bubble:before
{
content: '';
position: absolute;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 31px 18px 0;
border-color: silver transparent;
display: block;
width: 0;
z-index: 0;
bottom: -34px;
left: 45px;
}
div.bubble p {
color: #FFFFFF;
font-size: 21px;
font-weight: bold;
margin-top: 10px;
text-align: center;
}

What I want is that the arrow's right edge right should be longer and not equal to the left edge. In particular, the left edge should be perpendicular to the text-bubble, and the right edge should come to meet it. For better visualization, here is an example of what I'm trying to achieve:

Answer 1

Modify your css as like this
.bubble:before
{
content: '';
position: absolute;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 33px 18px 0; // modify this line
border-color: silver transparent;
/* display: block; */ // remove this line
width: 0;
z-index: 0;
bottom: -27px; // modify this line
left: 50px;
-webkit-transform: rotate(-108deg) skew(11deg,-10deg); // modify this line
}

Answer 2

The shape and direction of the arrow is determined by the individual border widths and colors
A simple adjustment of individual values makes it easy to experiment. It's often also useful to write out the individual values for both widths and colors so see what's what.

border: 3px solid silver;
border-radius: 25px;

}
.bubble:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
border-style: solid;
display: block;
width: 0;
z-index: 1;
top:100%;
left: 47px;
}
.bubble.one:after { /* straight left side */
border-width: 29px 29px 29px 0;
border-color: #ff7401 transparent transparent transparent;
}
.bubble.two:after { /* straight right side */
border-width: 29px 0px 29px 29px;
border-color: #ff7401 transparent transparent transparent ;
}
