Ben,
You may be looking for the feret dimension of the object, see Gabriel
Landini's excellent software for ImageJ at
http://www.dentistry.bham.ac.uk/landinig/software/software.html
Can you describe the measurement you expect to get if an isosceles
triangle is drawn (base of a, height of b) then rotated and moved
arbitrarily in the image.
Do you expect the measurements to be invariant of the rotation angle
and position?

cheers,
