The flat surface of any three dimensional object is called a face; a prism is a three dimensional object.
A tetrahedron has 4 faces, a cube has 6 faces, an octahedron has 8 faces, etc.
All rectangular prisms have six faces, but if it's a RECTANGULAR prism, it's not possible for it to have six SQUARE faces, they only have two of those. In total, they usually have four rectangular faces and two square faces.

A rectangular prism?
flat surfaces on any polyhedron are called faces
A polyhedron with six faces is often called a cuboid. It is also called a rectangular parallelepiped or a rectangular hexahedron, or sometimes simply, a box.
They can be rectangular prisms.
The flat surfaces on a pyramid are called faces. A pyramid has one base and triangular faces that meet at a single point called the apex. On a cube or rectangular prism, the flat surfaces are called faces as well. But unlike a pyramid, a cube has six square faces, while a rectangular prism has two rectangular bases and four rectangular faces.
Both rectangular prisms and hexagonal prisms are types of three-dimensional geometric figures. They share similarities in that they both have two parallel faces (bases) and rectangular faces that connect the bases. Additionally, both can be classified as polyhedra, as they are made up of flat surfaces. However, their bases differ in shape, with rectangular prisms having rectangular bases and hexagonal prisms having hexagonal bases.
The flat surfaces of all polyhedra are called faces and a rectangular prism is simply one kind of polyhedron.
Faces
They are the flat surfaces that form the boundaries of prisms.
All rectangular prisms have six faces, but if it's a RECTANGULAR prism, it's not possible for it to have six SQUARE faces, they only have two of those. In total, they usually have four rectangular faces and two square faces.

Hexagonal prisms, if you don't count the bases as faces. Rectangular prisms, if you do.
Those figures are called triangular prisms.
Yes, three-dimensional figures can have lateral faces that are rectangles, specifically in the case of rectangular prisms and pyramids. A rectangular prism consists entirely of rectangular faces, including its lateral faces. In contrast, a rectangular pyramid has a rectangular base and triangular lateral faces, although it can be visualized with rectangular lateral sections if divided appropriately. Thus, while prisms have all rectangular lateral faces, pyramids typically feature triangular lateral faces.
All prisms have at least 3. They all have 2 identical polygonal faces which are linked by as many rectangular faces as they have edges.
