depending on the font and format, somewhere between 60 and 120 pages. Contact me and I can send you the most acceptable formats. A lot of readers won't even read a play unless it follows the formats.

I'm not sure if pages matter, but as long as the conflict is solved and there's some sort of character development, also it has to have multiple acts, or else it's considered a "one act," not a standard length play.

When I took a playwriting class we were given the guidelines that one page would equal about 1 minute on stage.
Now you just need to know how long a "standard length" play is.

I think 3 acts is the ideal. you will have to consider the length of time each act takes to perform. Maybe half-hour each? The number of pages is totally irrelevant.

If you're looking at a movie script, 110-120 pages is the maximum.

long enough to resolve the conflicts and show character development

if it's boring: 1. If it's not then make it as long as you want... just not as long as Stephen King's books.
