What's wrong with this code? Why can't I use $room as an array?

Help me a little bit with this final task. Am I going for a good route? What should I do ? Please help me understand this a little more.

index.php
<?php

class Render {

  public static function displayDimensions($size)
  {
    return $size[0] . " x " . $size[1];
  }

  public static function getDimensions($room)
  {
    return $size->room;
  }

    public static function detailsKitchen($room)
    {
     return "Kitchen Dimensions: " . $room[0]->displayDimensions. "x" . $room[1]->displayDimensions;

    }
}

?>

Been a long time since I did php. But I think your issue is where you return to room.

return $size->room

should be return $size->$room

Thank you! I tried your solution but it's still marking an error here on line 17: Uncaught Error: Cannot use object of type Room as array in index.php:17

Spacing is wrong.

<?php

class Render {

  public static function displayDimensions($size)
  {
    return $size[0] . " x " . $size[1];
  }

  public static function getDimensions($room)
  {
    return $size->room;
  }

  public static function detailsKitchen($room)
  {
    return "Kitchen Dimensions: " . $room[0]->displayDimensions. "x" . $room[1]->displayDimensions;

  }
}

?>
