You must pass a static function as such : self::staticFunction

You needed to get the dimensions from the $room->getDimensions() method.

<?php

class Render {
    public static function displayDimensions($size) {
       return $size[0] . ' x ' . $size[1];   
    }
    public static function detailsKitchen($room) {
      return "Kitchen Dimensions: " . self::displayDimensions($room->getDimensions());
    }
}

?>

The accepted parameter $room will be an object which has a method named getDimensions.

[...]

You will need to call the static method displayDimensions from within the Render class and pass the dimensions from the $room object using the getDimensions method
