The atmosphere towers 60 miles above us. If an aasteroid comes in on a very low trajectory - say 8 degrees, how much air will it be slowed down by and compress being shoved ahead of it?
In real life we're dealing with Spherical Trigonometry and the distance is much greater.

An asteroid entered the atmosphere over Alaska moving westward shortly before sunrise, became an extremely bright fireball over south-central Russia created a huge airblast shock that damaged thousands of buildings in Chelyabinsk (mostly broken glass) and injuring more than 1000 people. Meteorites were found in water under a large circular broken-ice feature found soon after the event.
How far is it from Alaska to Chelyabinsk?
Triangles have 6 components. If you know any three you can find the other three.
With a right triangle you already know the 90 degrees, so you only need two more.
