if it just has to be close enough to act as a guide, maybe just scale it, rather than set a dimension.
You can also make a rectangle to the appropriate size and then stretch the image to fit that
or draw a diagonal, fix the angle, then you can drag the image so that the corners are always on that diagonal.
The outline can be a guide but the holes need to be exact
if it's the correct ratio when you start, make the diagonal and lock in the angle. now it can be scaled and keep it's aspect
