we know that

m∠PTS=m∠RTQ -----> by vertical angles

Step 1

m∠RTQ+m∠QTS=[tex]180\°[/tex] -------> by supplementary angles

solve for m∠QTS

m∠QTS=[tex]180\°[/tex]-m∠RTQ -------> equation [tex]1[/tex]

Step 2

m∠PTS+m∠QTS=[tex]180\°[/tex] -------> by supplementary angles

solve for m∠QTS

m∠QTS=[tex]180\°[/tex]-m∠PTS -------> equation [tex]2[/tex]

Step 3

equate equation [tex]1[/tex] and equation [tex]2[/tex]

[tex]180\°[/tex]-m∠RTQ=[tex]180\°[/tex]-m∠PTS

-m∠RTQ=-m∠PTS

so

m∠RTQ=m∠PTS

therefore

the answer is the option A

Sum of the measures of angles RTQ and QTS is 180°
