Determining Distances in Space (I need help)

[Blister]

Alright, i have a report in math class on how mathematics is used in determining distances in space. I have looked at different methods of parallax, but simply put... i'm only in 10th grade and am in Geometry and we are just starting Trig, so most of it's pretty much over my head or just doesn't seem logical. Does anyone have an easy explanation or link on the subject determining distances in space? It would be greatly appreciated.
