How do I pair my iPad (7th Gen) with my MacBook Pro.
The iTunes/Finder connection to the iPad is done using a USB cable or by wifi. Wifi use requires previous setup with the cable.
From the Catalina Finder help document:
"You can sync your Mac and device when they’re connected over same Wi-Fi network. To set up Wi-Fi syncing, first connect your device to your Mac using a USB or USB-C cable. You then turn on Wi-Fi syncing and choose the settings you want. Whenever your device connects to your Mac over Wi-Fi, you can select it in the sidebar and sync it. (You can turn on automatic syncing if you want.) Your device must have iOS 5 or later or iPadOS 13 or later."

"Pair" in what sense?
Share data from MacBook Pro to 7th Generation iPad with WiFi.
Depending on the OS on your MacBook Pro install iTunes for Mac or use the Mac's Finder.
