F-S-F on the plane of the pyramid is 101.5 deg and 187 deg for the axial. As you can guess the deviation from the ideal 120 and 180 degrees respectively is because of the lone pair.
Have a look near the end of the following web page for the figure (figure 4) and a detailed explanation

a) 26 e- total, one lone pair, 3 bonding pairs gives 4 attachments, then: trigonal pyramidal shape, ideally 109.5°, bonds deviatie by being smaller b) 36 e- total, two lone pair, 4 bonding pairs gives 6 attachments, then: square base planar, ideally 90°, bonds do not deviatie c) 26 e- total, one lone pair, 3 bonding pairs gives 4 attachments, then: trigonal pyramidal shape, ideally 109.5°, bonds deviatie by being smaller d) 42 e- total, one lone pair, 5 bonding pairs gives 6 attachments, then: saw horse shape, ideally 90°, bonds deviatie by being smaller
