Examples:

  1. They boys have a/the same weight of 40 kg.
  2. The roads have a/the same distance of 10 km.

We would normally say "the same...", but "a weight/distance of..."

Which is correct?

Neither of them seems natural. We would normally say

All the boys weigh 40kg

But

The boys have the same weight, 40 kg.

would also be possible

All the roads are 10 km long

Roads do not have distance they have length. They may be at a distance from the speaker or from some other feature.
