A prism has two parallel and congruent bases in the shape of polygons.

Example - a cereal box (is rectangular prism). The top and bottom are rectangles(a polygon). They are the same size and shape (congruent) and also parallel.

A cube (think of six sided dice) is a special rectangular prism.

Imagine a a box where the top and bottom are triangles (of the shape size and shape). This is called a triangular prism.

What solid with two parallel bases that are congruent triangles has later faces that are parallelograms?

It is a prism. More specifically, "A solid figure that has two bases that are parallel, congruent polygons and with all other faces that are parallelograms." This describes the general prism. Replace "polygons" with "triangles" and you have specified a triangular prism.

What is a solid figure that has two congruent polygons as bases and lateral faces that are rectangles?

A solid figure that has two congruent polygons as bases and lateral faces that are rectangles is called a prism. In a prism, the two bases are parallel and congruent, while the lateral faces connect the corresponding sides of the bases and are rectangular in shape. The type of prism is often specified by the shape of its bases, such as triangular prism or rectangular prism.
