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.

What shape has 16 corners and 10 flat sides?
Assuming there are no curved sides, it is a decahedron. It is likely to be an octagonal prism but there may be other configurations.
How many curved surfaces does a triangular prism?
A triangular prism contains zero curved and 5 flat surfaces.
Can a prism have a curved face?
No, it cannot.
Name of quadrilateral with 2 curved sides?
A quadrilateral is a shape with four straight sides. There are no curved sides in a quadrilateral.
Can a triangular prism roll?
No, a triangular prism cannot roll because it does not have a circular cross-section like a cylinder or a sphere. Rolling requires a continuous curved surface that can rotate around an axis. A triangular prism has a polygonal cross-section with flat sides, so it would slide rather than roll.
