In English, the dimension parallel to the ground can only be "long," and the one perpendicular to it "high/tall." A table can be both long and high, but it means different things, and the Arabic sentence translates the former.
هذه طاولة مرتفعة
would translate the latter.

Table has the long a and tall the short. Also table is "wi" while long is "wii". Hope I helped.
I agree in spoken english there is no real difference. Having got previous questions all correct i got this one wrong....in English by default we would put the table first, this table is long, (this is a long table doesnt quite sound right to say first....context matters) but it looks like the words and order is important/different in arabic so we have to learn the difference.
