How to solve this trigonometric equation?

I am a new user of Mathematica. I want to solve the following equation

a*Tan[a] = Sqrt[(52.7531 - a^2)]

for a, where a is a real value. I used the Solve function, but I am not getting the right answer.

I tried,

Solve[a*Tan[a] == Sqrt[(52.7531 - a^2)], a, Reals]

I am doing something wrong. Could anyone tell me what it is? Thanks in advance.
