Ramanujam Maths Puzzle

I got this puzzle today: http://www.imsc.res.in/~rao/ramanujan/newnow/q289.htm

(sweat). Still working to find a formal answer to both the puzzles. Jesus. 

Elementary nested root problem, the author says. My foot.

Answer (inelegant) in green in this sheet: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1xQDlpMnLKxRUV6SExvdGRwWDQ

Formal solution here: http://www.imsc.res.in/~rao/ramanujan/newnow/sq289.htm and below.
