From a point on a circle, two perpendicular chords are drawn. One is 6 cm from the center and the other one is 3 cm from the center. Find the lengths of these chords.

The chord 3cm away is 12cm and chord 6cm away is 6cm.
The two perpendicular chords will create a rectangle with the center. each side will be half of the parallel sides length.
