1. **State the problem:** We need to find the measure of angle RTS in triangle RTS inscribed in a circle.
2. **Given information:**
- Angle at Q (inside the circle) is $3x + 57^\circ$.
- Angle at T is $3x$.
3. **Important rule:** The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is $180^\circ$.
4. **Set up the equation:**
$$\text{Angle } R + \text{Angle } T + \text{Angle } S = 180^\circ$$
Here, angle RTS is angle $R$, angle at T is $3x$, and angle at Q is $3x + 57^\circ$ which corresponds to angle $S$.
So,
$$m\angle RTS + 3x + (3x + 57) = 180$$
5. **Simplify the equation:**
$$m\angle RTS + 3x + 3x + 57 = 180$$
$$m\angle RTS + 6x + 57 = 180$$
6. **Express $m\angle RTS$ in terms of $x$:**
$$m\angle RTS = 180 - 6x - 57$$
$$m\angle RTS = 123 - 6x$$
7. **Find $x$ using the fact that angle at Q is an exterior angle to triangle RTS:**
Since angle at Q is $3x + 57^\circ$ and it equals the sum of the opposite interior angles $m\angle RTS + 3x$, we have:
$$3x + 57 = m\angle RTS + 3x$$
8. **Subtract $3x$ from both sides:**
$$\cancel{3x} + 57 = m\angle RTS + \cancel{3x}$$
$$57 = m\angle RTS$$
9. **Therefore,**
$$m\angle RTS = 57^\circ$$
10. **Final answer:**
$$\boxed{57^\circ}$$
