flat approach

"Glide path angle also affects total landing distance. As the approach path becomes flatter, even whiile maintaining proper height over the end of the runway, total landing distance is increased."

when I read the above, by "flatter" I assume this means glide path angle decreases.

but why would this increase the landing distance?
