The "dot" is like the musical version of the phrase "and a half." Dotted quarter notes are equal to 1-1/2 quarter notes. By the same token, dotted half notes are equal to 1-1/2 half notes, or the same as 3 quarter notes.

In a 4/4 time signature, a dotted quarter note is equal to 1-1/2 beats.

Depends on your time signature.

If it is in 3/8 time, then it lasts for 1.5 beats.
