  public static function displayDimensions ($size){

    $size=array["length","width"];

maybe:

<?php
class Render {

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

To execute, you'd pass is the array. eg.

<?php
class Render {

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

$sampleDimensions = [45, 56]; //or alternatively = array(45, 56);
echo Render::displayDimensions($sampleDimensions);
//this prints 45 x 56
?>
