If two chords are the same distance from the center of a circle they are?

If two chords are the same distance from the center of a circle, they are equal in length. This is due to the property of circles where equal distances from the center to the chords indicate that the chords lie parallel to each other and are congruent. Thus, the relationship between the center and the chords confirms their equality in length.
