Can Not Tell: That is impossible to say based upon the info.Altho there are predictions based upon parental height, her "height " dna may come from any member of the extended family on either side, making true always right predictions impossible with the info provided.

Genetic expectation: All of your female children with the 5'10 father would be expected to be about 5'5" based on parental height. Since she is already taller, other factors need to be considered. If she is 2 years past first menses she may be done, if not she is likely slowing down.Most girls stop by 16-17.An x-ray of her wrist/hand could predict any further growth potential
