Answer: 79.18 inch.

Explanation:

Given: For every 6 inches of height, Lashacha has an arm span of about 6.17 inches.

i.e. for each inch of height she has an arm span of =
(6.17)/(6) inches

Height of Lashacha = 6 ft 5 in.

1 ft = 12 inches

Then, Height of Lashacha = [6(12)+ 5] = 77 in.

So for 77 inch height she has arm span of
(6.17)/(6)*77=79.18\text{ inch}

Hence, the width of her arm span = 79.18 inch.
