No. Fermat was born in the 17th century, but Pythagoras died in about the 5th century BC, so there's no way Fermat could have helped him apart from going back in time.

Who discovered pythagorean theorem?

It was years before, Pythagoras(580 BC - 500 BC) is said to have discovered Pythagorean Theorem. Strangely, 5 centuries after Pythagoras lived, the theorem Pythagorean was attributed to him. The discovery of the theorm Pythagorean came when Pythagoras was waiting for the tyrannical ruler, Polycrates. An interesting idea had flashed Pythagoras mind: A diagonal line can be used to cut or divide the square and two right triangles would be produced from the cut sides. After examining it further, Pythagoras formulated the idea in mind. Happy to help you.

If two sides of a triangle with a right angle are known, the Pythagorean Theorem can help you find the third one. It can also be used to verify whether a certain triangle is, indeed, a right triangle (if the three sides are known).
