Is 1 cm2 = to 3.033Millimeters x 3.033333...ml?

Because length x width = square area.

Or is it 1cm x 1cm.

Or Every time I said a "Square meter, kilometre or centimetre" means:

1cm2 = 1cm x 1cm 1km2 = 1 km x 1 km

I'm assuming that you meant to ask: is $1 \text{ cm}^2$ equal to $3.033 \text{ mm} \cdot 3.033333 \ldots \text{ mm}$?

The answer is no, because

$$\begin{align} 1 \text{ cm}^2 &= (10 \text{ mm})^2\\ &= 10^2 \text{ mm}^2\\ &= 100 \text{ mm}^2, \end{align}$$

whereas

$$\begin{align} 3.033 \text{ mm} \cdot 3.033333 \ldots \text{ mm} &= (3.033 \cdot 3.033333 \ldots) \text{ mm}^2\\ &= 9.2001 \text{ mm}^2 \text{ (exactly)}. \end{align}$$

I'm really curious where you came up with the numbers $3.033$ and $3.033333 \ldots$, and what you expected the product $3.033 \cdot 3.033333 \ldots$ to be...
