There is no answer to this. Volcanoes can be dormant for many years ... even centuries ... and then suddenly become active again without (much) warning. Mt. St. Helens was dormant for about 700 years before erupting around 1480, and was active until about 1657 before becoming dormant again, was active from 1800 to 1857, then went back to dormancy until the eruption in 1980 blew 1300 feet off the top of the mountain (seriously).

So you can't count on any particular length of time that a volcano will stay dormant.

What does it mean if volcano is active?

you can get active, dormant (or sleeping) and inactive volcanoes. an active volcano is one that is very likely to erupt in the future and still has magma in it. a dormant (or sleeping) volcano is one that has not erupted for the past thousand-or-so years, but can still erupt an inactive volcano is highly unlikely to ever erupt again. every volcano will eventually become inactive. at one time, there were volcano in the UK, but they have all died out now (or become inactive) !!
