sin75 can be written as sin(30+45)
sin(30+45)=sin30cos45+cos30cos45
Similarly cos105=cos(60+45)cos60cos45sin60sin45
Now just add both the above equation and try to use value from the trignometry chart below.

Following on from where you left off,
sin75cos75=sin(75)cos(75)
=sin75+cos(75)
Using the formula sinθ+cosθ=2sin(θ+45) (which can be proven using the addition formula for sin), this becomes
2sin(30)=2sin30=22

There's some transformation formula I'm listing below, sin(a+b)+sin(ab)=2sinacosb
sin(a+b)sin(ab)=2cosasinb
cos(a+b)+cos(ab)=2cosacosb
cos(ab)cos(a+b)=2sinasinb
Now your problem reduces to sin75cos75, to make use the above formula, we convert cos75=sin15 and we write 75 = 45+30 and 15 = 45-30.
So we have sin(45+30)sin(4530)=2cos45sin30=21212=12
Alter: You need not break the given form even, as follows
cos105+sin75=cos105+cos15=cos(60+45)+cos(6045)
