What is the past tense of 적합하다?

적합했어요 in everyday polite speech, 적합했습니다 formally. It is built from the 아/어 form 적합하여 plus ㅆ, which is why an irregular stem shows its irregularity here.

Yes — it is 여 irregular (여 불규칙). 하다 and every verb built on it: 하다 → 하여 → 해요. That is why the stem looks different in 적합하여 and 적합하니 but unchanged in 적합합니다.
