Because if it did not , it would not be a prism!
A prism has two congruent bases that are parallel and identical in shape. The sides connecting these bases, known as lateral faces, are typically rectangular and can vary in number depending on the type of prism. For example, a triangular prism has three rectangular lateral faces, while a rectangular prism has four. Thus, a prism has at least two congruent sides from its bases, but the total number of congruent sides can vary based on the specific type of prism.
its a cube
The six sides of the prism are mutually congruent if the hexagon is a regular one. One base is also congruent to the opposite base. ----------------- (The illustration is an octagonal prism.)

Yes if it didn't it wouldn't be a prism.
A polyhedron that has 2 congruent faces is a PRISM. To be a prism, all the other sides (not including the 2 that are congruent) have to be 4-sided.
"No congruent sides" means: a polygon or prism that has no two sides that are exactly alike.

A solid with congruent ends and parallel sides is typically called a prism. More specifically: 🔷 Types of Solids with Congruent Ends and Parallel Sides Prism: A solid with two congruent, parallel polygonal bases and sides that are parallelograms. Examples include: Rectangular prism (like a box) Triangular prism (like a tent shape) Pentagonal prism, etc. Cylinder: A special case where the congruent ends are circles, and the side is a curved surface. It also fits the definition of having congruent ends and parallel sides. So depending on the shape of the ends (polygonal or circular), the solid could be a prism or a cylinder.
The six sides of the prism are mutually congruent if the hexagon is a regular one. One base is also congruent to the opposite base. ----------------- (The illustration is an octagonal prism.)

You are describing a rectangular prism or a cube,
A triangular prism has two congruent bases. This question was posed and answered on "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?"
Rectagular prism, but if it has all congruent sides its a cube
Yes if it didn't it wouldn't be a prism.
