Is an IP inside a CIDR block?
Yes — 10.0.42.7 is inside 10.0.0.0/16.
Do two CIDR blocks overlap?
Overlap — 10.0.128.0/20 sits inside 10.0.0.0/16 (10.0.128.0 – 10.0.143.255).
CIDR blocks never partly overlap: one is inside the other, or they don't touch at all. Overlapping VPCs can't be peered.

Frequently asked
What is the subnet mask for /17?
255.255.128.0. The first 17 bits are network bits and the remaining 15 are host bits; the wildcard (inverse) mask is 0.0.127.255.
How many IP addresses are in a /17?
32,768 in total. 32,766 of them can be assigned to hosts, because the first is the network address and the last is the broadcast address. In an AWS VPC or Azure subnet, 32,763 are usable because 5 are reserved.
