We can solve this problem using complementary events. Two events are said to be complementary if one negates the other, i.e. E and F are complementary if
where is the whole sample space.
This implies that
So, let's compute the probability that all 22 footballer were born on different days.
The first footballer can be born on any day, since we have no restrictions so far. Since we're using numbers from 1 to 365 to represent days, let's say that the first footballer was born on the day .
The second footballer can be born on any other day, so he has 364 possible birthdays:
the probability for the first two footballers to be born on two different days is thus
Similarly, the third footballer can be born on any day, except and
:
so, the probability for the first three footballers to be born on three different days is
And so on. With each new footballer we include, we have less and less options out of the 365 days, since more and more days will be already occupied by another footballer, and we can't have two players born on the same day.
The probability of all 22 footballers being born on 22 different days is thus
So, the probability that at least two footballers are born on the same day is
since the two events are complementary.

Answer:
BC ≈ 17.0 (neither Crow nor Toad is correct)
Step-by-step explanation:
The left-side ratio of (2+4)/4 = 3/2 suggests BC is 3/2 times the length DE. If that were the case, BC = (3/2)(11) = 16.5, as Crow says.
The right-side ratio of (5+9)/9 = 14/9 suggests that BC 9 is 14/9 times the length DE. If that were the case, BC = (14/9)(11) = 154/9 = 17 1/9 ≈ 17.1, as Toad says.
The different ratios of the two sides (3/2 vs 14/9) tell you that the triangles are NOT similar, so the length of BC cannot be found by referring to the ratios of the given sides.
Rather, the Law of Cosines must be invoked, first to find angle A (109.471°), then to use that angle to compute the length of BC given the side lengths AB and AC. That computation gives BC ≈ 16.971. (See the second attachment.)
