To find the measure of ∠QRS, we can use the fact that supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees.

∠QRS + ∠SRT = 180 degrees

Substituting the given angle measures:

(x+40) + x = 180

Combining like terms:

2x + 40 = 180

Subtracting 40 from both sides:

2x = 140

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 70

Therefore, the measure of ∠QRS is x+40 = 70+40 = 110 degrees.

The correct answer is 110°.
