This is genders again. Sticking to Nominative case, "velký" is the masculine singular form, "velká" is feminine, "velké" is the neuter form. In plural, masculine animate is "velcí", masculine inanimate and feminine are both velké, and neuter is "velká". You use whichever form agrees in gender and number with the noun.
Hi, your suggestions has completely different meaning and translation. "Height"="Výška" (noun) and "Tall"="Vysoký" (adjective). If we are describing a person we always use "tall", e.g. "He is tall". But if we are talking about personal traits we use "height" with exact number, e.g. "His height is 5 feet 9 inches". Note: It's just my opinion, I might be wrong.
