There is a survey [article][1] by Berndt, Choi, and Kang devoted to the set of 58 Ramanujan's problems. Many of the problems have generated serious research activity since they were republished in *Ramanujan's Collected Papers* in 1927. An elementary solution to the specific geometric problem you've mentioned can be found in *Ramanujan's Notebooks, Part III* by Berndt (Springer, 1991, pp. 244-246).
