SF4 :

First draw the Lewis dot structure:
SF4 Lewis Structure
Electron geometry: trigonal bipyramidal. Hybridization: sp3d

Next draw the 3D structure using VSPER rules:


Decision:
The geometry of SF4 is seesaw with an asymmetric electron region distribution around the central atom.
Therefore this molecule is polar.
