Answer

${\bf 1.59}\;\rm \mu F$

Work Step by Step

The crossover frequency in a simple RC circuit is at $V_R=V_C$, where the crossover frequency is given by $$\omega_c=2\pi f_c$$ So, $$f_c=\dfrac{\omega_c}{2\pi}$$ where $\omega_c=1/RC$, so $$f_c=\dfrac{1}{2\pi RC}$$ So the capacitance is given by $$C=\dfrac{1}{2\pi Rf_c}$$ Plug the given; $$C=\dfrac{1}{2\pi (1000)(100)}=\color{red}{\bf 1.59}\;\rm \mu F$$
