A congruent triangle has three sides, just like any other triangle. The term "congruent" in this context means that the lengths of the sides of the triangle are equal to each other. So, regardless of whether a triangle is congruent or not, it will always have three sides.
Yes if it is in the form of an isosceles triangle with the other 2 acute angles being equal
A right triangle can have at most 2 congruent sides, but may have no congruent sides. From the Pythagorean Theorem, the square of the hypotenuse will be equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides - consequently the "other two sides must each be less than the length of the hypotenuse and thus not congruent with it. They can be congruent with each other however - which is what occurs in a 45°/45°/90° triangle (for any other right triangle, none of the sides will be congruent).
The answer to this question is Two segments that are both congruent to a third segment must be congruent to each other All of the radii of a circle are congruent You're welcome.
"Congruent" means "same shape and size as the other one". So one thing all by itself is never congruent. It needs something else to be congruent with. An isosceles triangle is never congruent to a scalene triangle, sometimes congruent to any other kind of triangle, and always congruent to another isosceles triangle that's congruent to the first one.
An isosceles triangle has two congruent sides.

The congruent sides of an isosceles triangle are the two sides that are equal in length. These two sides are opposite the equal angles of the triangle. The third side, called the base, is not equal in length to the other two sides.
scalene (no two sides are of equal length). the other two are isosceles (2 congruent sides) and equilateral (all equal sides).
A single triangle is never congruent. "Congruent" only arises out of a comparison with something else. In order to be congruent to another triangle, a triangle needs one of the following: -- two of its sides and the included angle equal respectively to two sides and the included angle of the other one; -- two of its angles and the included side equal respectively to two angles and the included side of the other one; -- all three of its sides equal respectively to all three sides of the other one.

Yes. Only if the other two angles of the right triangle are congruent and each equal 45 degrees. Then using the isosceles triangle theorem, you know that the two sides opposite the angles are congruent.
