You guys went diving deep!

It is this simple:
Dihedral is an angle measured using the wing spar or wing saddle on the fuselage as a reference.
Washout is an angle measured using the wing Chord at the root as a reference.

Typically these two reference points are perpendicular to each other, so it is practically impossible to create a correlation without going deep into math.
