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, a prism cannot have curved sides. A prism is a polyhedron with two parallel and congruent polygonal bases connected by lateral faces that are parallelograms. The lateral faces of a prism are always flat, planar surfaces that are perpendicular to the bases. Curved sides would not meet the definition of a prism.
No, rectangles do not have congruent sides. Squares have congruent sides.
What solid figure has congruent squares on all six sides
A prism has two identical polygonal bases connected by rectangular or parallelogram faces, so it has 2 sides. A pyramid has a polygonal base and triangular faces that meet at a common vertex, so it has a total of n+1 sides, where n is the number of sides of the base polygon.

rectangular prism
No a rectangular prism has two sides on the end that are squares.
That all depends on the type of faces a prism has. Then, you should have at most 3 pairs of congruent faces on the opposite sides of the prism.
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.)

it is a triangular prism with a square bottom
No, rectangles do not have congruent sides. Squares have congruent sides.
Could it be a hexahedron. A cube has 6 sides and they are squares. A rectangular prism has 6 faces that are rectangles.
A triangular prism always has 5 sides. It has two triangular bases and 3 rectangular faces. If the bases are not congruent it is called an oblique prism.
My answer to that question is eight sides. * * * * * Actually, there is no single answer because a prism is a generic term which is used to describe a polyhedron with two congruent and parallel bases and a number of rectangular faces joining them. If the base is a polygon with n sides (n ≥ 3), then the corresponding prism has n+2 faces. So a prism can have 5 or more faces.
Parallelograms have sides. Opposite sides are congruent.
