Recall that:

tanθ=length of the side opposite to the angle θlength of the side adjacent to the angle θ\tan\theta=\dfrac{\text{length of the side {\color{#c34632}\bf{}opposite} to the angle $\theta$}}{\text{length of the side {\color{#c34632}\bf{}adjacent} to the angle $\theta$}}

Use the given figure to substitute values for the

opposite{\color{#c34632}\bf{}opposite}

and the

adjacent{\color{#c34632}\bf{}adjacent}

side lengths.

tanF=DEFE=43\tan F=\dfrac{DE}{FE}=\dfrac{4}{3}
