Pick the axis-aligned bounding box: x from 5 to 18 (width 13) and y from 6 to 20 (height 14). The corner at (18,20) is cut off by the parallelogram between (10,20) and (18,9), giving a right triangle with horizontal leg 18−10 = 8 and vertical leg 20−9 = 11.

So the correct cutout triangle has legs 8 and 11.
