Each side of a square ABCD has a length of 1 unit. Points P and Q belong to AB and DA respectively. The perimeter of triangle APQ is 2 units. What will be the angle of PCQ.
I was able to do this with simple trignometry and found it to be 45 degrees but the book I am reading doesn't yet talked about trignometry or similarity of triangle so I want rather pure geometric proof which doesn't include trigonometry or similarity of triangle concepts.

(I apologize for replacing points $PQ$ with $EF$, I'm too tired to draw the picture again :)
Draw circle with center $E$ and radius $EB$ and circle with center $F$ and radius $FD$. These circles intersect segment $EF$ at points $G',G''$ These points are identical! Why?
Because perimeter of triangle $AEF$ is 2 which is $AB+AD=AE+EB+AF+FD=AE+EG'+AF+FG''$. It means that $EG'+FG''=EF$ and therefore $G'equiv G''equiv Gin EF$.
So these two circles touch at point $G$ as shown in the picture. Power of point $C$ with respect to both circles is equal $(CB=CD)$ and therefore it has to be on the radical axis of the circles. These circles touch at point $G$ and their radical axis is defined by the common tangent at point $G$. Becuase of that $CG$ must be tangent to both circles and, at the same time, $CGbot EF$.
The rest is trivial: you can easily show that triangles $FCD$ and $FCG$ are congruent. The same is true for triangles $ECG$ and $ECB$. Because of that:
$$angle ECF=frac12angle BCG+frac 12angle GCD=45^circ$$

Rotate $Q$ for $90^circ$ around $C$ in to new point $E$. Then $P,B,E$ are collinear and $PB = PQ$. So triangles $CQP$ and $CEP$ are congruent by (sss), so $$angle QCP = angle ECP = 45^circ$$
