Solving a set of simultaneous equations

I have the following set of simultaneous equations that I want to solve. I'm just confused as to what solver is the best choice!
Can it be even solved?
a = 0.5;
sqrt(x1^2 + a*x1*x2 + a*x1*x3 + a*x1*x4) = 30;
sqrt(a*x2*x1 + x2^2 + a*x2*x3 + a*x2*x4) = 33;
sqrt(a*x3*x1 + a*x3*x2 + x3^2 + a*x3*x4) = 25;
sqrt(a*x4*x1 + a*x4*x2 + a*x4*x3 + x4^2) = 10;
Thank you!

				There will be multi-solution if no range limition:
No.	x1	x2	x3	x4

        a = 0.5;
fun =@(x1,x2,x3,x4) [x1^2 + a*x1*x2 + a*x1*x3 + a*x1*x4 - 30^2;...
                     a*x2*x1 + x2^2 + a*x2*x3 + a*x2*x4 - 33^2;...
                     a*x3*x1 + a*x3*x2 + x3^2 + a*x3*x4 - 25^2;...
                     a*x4*x1 + a*x4*x2 + a*x4*x3 + x4^2 - 10^2];
x = fsolve(@(x)fun(x(1),x(2),x(3),x(4)),[1 1 1 1])
fun(x(1),x(2),x(3),x(4))
