1. **State the problem:** We have two lines $f$ and $g$ crossed by a transversal $n$. We want to find which angle measure among $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$ should equal $105^\circ$ to prove that $f \parallel g$.
2. **Recall the rule for parallel lines and transversals:** When two lines are parallel, corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and consecutive interior angles have specific relationships.
- Corresponding angles are equal.
- Alternate interior angles are equal.
- Consecutive interior angles are supplementary (sum to $180^\circ$).
3. **Given:** One angle is $75^\circ$ at the right intersection on the lower-right side.
4. **Find the angle that should be $105^\circ$:** Since $75^\circ + 105^\circ = 180^\circ$, the angle supplementary to $75^\circ$ is $105^\circ$.
5. **Identify which angle is supplementary to $75^\circ$:** The angle $a$ is above the transversal at the right intersection, adjacent to the $75^\circ$ angle, so $a$ and $75^\circ$ are consecutive interior angles.
6. **Therefore, to prove $f \parallel g$, angle $a$ must be $105^\circ$ because consecutive interior angles must sum to $180^\circ$:**
$$a + 75^\circ = 180^\circ$$
$$a = 180^\circ - 75^\circ = 105^\circ$$
**Final answer:** Angle $a$ should equal $105^\circ$ to prove that $f \parallel g$.
