    Simpler way. Angle ABQ = X (ABC is isosceles). Draw BP. Triangles ABP & QBP are mirror congruent (side-side-side),so angle PQB = X. This is exterior angle of isosceles triangle PQC, so angle PCQ = X/2. In ABC, sum of angles = 180 degrees. X + X + X/2 = 180. 5X = 360.
    X = 360/5 = 72 degrees.

    I assigned AP=PQ=QC=1 and AB=BQ=PC="a". Since the triangle is isosceles ∠ABQ = x and it can be shown that ∠APQ = 2x. Using the Law of Cosines in two ways to find AQ results in cos(x) = (a² - 2)/2. This means (a² - 2)/2 = (a/2)/(a + 1) which results in a = (1 + √5)/2. So cos(x) = (√5 - 1)/4 from which x = 72º.

    If ∠C=α , then ∠PQB =2α
    ∆PBQ is Congruent to ∆PBA by SSS, hence ∠A=∠PQB
    Since ∆ABC is Isosceles, ∠A =∠B
    Summing up angles in ∆ABC,
    5α= 180
    X = ∠A = 2α= 72°

      Excellent! For ∆PBQ and ∆PBA, you need to construct PB, but I'm sure viewers will figure that out!

      How do you figure this equivalence below?
      If ∠C=α , then ∠PQB =2α
      EDIT1
      Is it by considering that they can be seen as angle at the circumference and angle at the center insisting on the same arc of a circle of radius QC=QP?
      EDIT2
      Oh now I see it's much simpler than that, because the angle in C = CPQ = a then PQC must be 180-2a (the sum of internal angles of a triangle being 180) and then PQB is the complement to 180 of PQC so it must be 180 - (180 -2a) = 2a Very good.

    I feel that I should also know the ratio of AP/AB (Working it out at the end: sine X = (1/2) PC/PQ) AP/AB =1/(2sine(X) )
    In triangle ABC , angle B equals X , because AC = AB. Angle C = 180 - X - X
    In triangle CPQ , angle P = 180 - X -X and angle Q = 4X
    In kite APQB A = X and we have two expressions for Q . It is X because triangles APB, QPB are (side,side,side) congruent. It is 360-4X (the sum of QCP and QPC)
    5X = 360 360/5 = 72 X=72 degrees Answer
    Check: 72 +72 + 36 = 180 36+36+ 108 = 180 72 + 144+72 +72 = 360 degrees in the vertices of APQB.
