In a right triangle, the altitude with the hypotenuse as base divides the hypotenuse into two sections p and q. If we denote the length of the altitude by h, we have the relation h2 = p*q (Euklids altitutude theorem).
So, first draw the square root of 2 as the diagonal of a square with side length 1, then construct a right triangle with p=1 and q= sqrt(2) by using the Thales theorem and its altitude will be fourth root of 2 according to Euclids theorem.

No, it is not.
What does it mean if there are two square root symbols over a number?
Take the square root of the square root of the number (that is the fourth root of the number), for example: √√16 = √(√16) = √4 = 2 24 = 16 ⇒ 2 is the fourth root of 16.
What is the square root of 5 radical 800?
It is sqrt[100*sqrt(2)] = 10*fourth root of 2.
