Object are similar if their corresponding angles are the same and their corresponding sides are proportional (i.e., each pair of corresponding sides has the same linear scale factor, k!)
Once you know the linear scale factor, just multiply it by a dimension in the actual (original) object to get the corresponding dimension in the diagram (or model). Notes are here and here.
