Because it is not. Impedence is the vector sum of the real resistance and the imaginary capacitive or incuctive impedence. For a series connected circuit can be computed as sqrt(R^2 + X^2 -Y^2) where X is inductive impedence at a certain frequency, and Y is the capacitive impedence at that frequency. Since Y is subtracted from X, if they are the same impedence, the cancel out, leaving R. When this happens to a circuit it is called resonance, and can develop voltages or currents far in excess of what is being supplied.
