Sf4 Bond Angles

It's described as distorted tetrahedral or "sawhorse" shape. If you want to know how to work it out, try this...
S is in group 6 so has 6 valence electrons...in SF4 there are 4 bonds, so 4 of the valence elctrons from S are used in bonding. That means that 2 of them are not, so exist as a lone pair. That's 5 pairs of electrons (4 bond pairs and a lone pair) round the S atom. So SF4 is based on a trigonal bipyramidal structure, but because there is a lone pair, that lone pair will repel the 4 bond pairs somewhat, thereby distorting the shape from TBP to sawhorse. Angles are as other answers have said.
