Answer 1

It's the PELVIC bone, le BASSIN in French.  I've never had to measure one...

Answer 2

From the edge of one side of the brim to the other.

Answer 3

the pelvic  bone's angular distinction is a methodology for dicerning the gender of skeletal remains...measuring it would be a function to deduce overall size of the person or abnormalities, hence measuring it conventionally is done by massing it or taking a three dimensional topical computer to assess its surface area.  Allowing for a comparitive analysis.   There is a crude way of doing it on site.  just hold it anatomically with a the lowest point touching a flat surface and use tailor tape to eyeball.
