The problem asks to calculate the surface area of shapes \( A \) and \( B \), assuming that one unit of the grid is equal to 5 cm.

### Steps to solve:

1. **Grid Analysis**:
   - Each shape is constructed on a triangular grid. We need to count the number of full triangular grid units that make up shapes \( A \) and \( B \). One triangular unit forms an equilateral triangle.
   
2. **Area Calculation**:
   - The side length of each triangular grid unit is \( 5 \, \text{cm} \). The area of an equilateral triangle with side length \( s \) is given by:
   \[
   \text{Area} = \frac{s^2 \sqrt{3}}{4}
   \]
   Substituting \( s = 5 \, \text{cm} \), we can find the area of one triangular grid unit.
   
3. **Count of Units**:
   - We count the number of triangular grid units within shapes \( A \) and \( B \). For simplicity, we can break each shape into smaller regions and sum the units.

I will proceed to count the triangular units for both shapes and calculate the surface areas.The area of one triangular grid unit is approximately \( 10.83 \, \text{cm}^2 \).

Next, I'll count the number of triangular grid units forming shapes \( A \) and \( B \) from the image and calculate the total surface area for both.Let's count the triangular units for shapes \( A \) and \( B \):

1. **Shape \( A \)**:
   - It appears to cover approximately 6 triangular grid units.
   
2. **Shape \( B \)**:
   - It appears to cover approximately 8 triangular grid units.

### Surface Area Calculations:
- Surface area of \( A \): 
  \[
  \text{Area of A} = 6 \times 10.83 \, \text{cm}^2
  \]
  
- Surface area of \( B \): 
  \[
  \text{Area of B} = 8 \times 10.83 \, \text{cm}^2
  \]

I'll calculate the total surface area of \( A \) and \( B \).It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later.

However, you can manually calculate the areas using the following:

- Surface area of shape \( A \): \( 6 \times 10.83 \, \text{cm}^2 \)
- Surface area of shape \( B \): \( 8 \times 10.83 \, \text{cm}^2 \)

Adding them will give you the total surface area.
