1. **Problem Statement:** Quadrilateral PQRS is inscribed in circle A. Given that $m\angle P = 92^\circ$ and $m\angle Q = 92^\circ$, determine which statement about angles $R$ and $S$ is necessarily true.
2. **Key Property:** In a cyclic quadrilateral (one inscribed in a circle), opposite angles are supplementary. This means:
$$m\angle P + m\angle R = 180^\circ$$
$$m\angle Q + m\angle S = 180^\circ$$
3. **Calculate $m\angle R$:** Using the property for opposite angles,
$$m\angle R = 180^\circ - m\angle P = 180^\circ - 92^\circ = 88^\circ$$
4. **Calculate $m\angle S$:** Similarly,
$$m\angle S = 180^\circ - m\angle Q = 180^\circ - 92^\circ = 88^\circ$$
5. **Analyze the statements:**
- A. $m\angle R = m\angle S$ is true since both are $88^\circ$.
- B. $m\angle R + m\angle S = 88^\circ + 88^\circ = 176^\circ \neq 180^\circ$ (false).
- C. $m\angle R = \frac{1}{2} m\angle S$ means $88^\circ = 44^\circ$ (false).
- D. $m\angle R + m\angle S = m\angle P + m\angle Q$ means $176^\circ = 184^\circ$ (false).
**Final answer:** Statement A is necessarily true.
